How to Mask Off a Kitchen! Masking off Cabinets for Airless Spraying!

What happens here

For drawer boxes with attached fronts that cannot be removed, the entire box must be masked while it's still attached or temporarily removed for easier access. Use the 3M Hand-Masker M3000 with paper and blue painter's tape. Wrap the tape and paper completely around the entire drawer box, ensuring all exposed sides that are not being painted are covered. This allows the drawer to be painted while standing or flipped over, preventing overspray on the interior or unpainted sides.

Goal: Mask entire drawer boxes with attached fronts.

Tools and materials

  • 3M Hand-Masker M3000 3M — Applying masking paper and tape

  • Masking Paper — Covering the drawer box

What they say

Hide

So you could run into a scenario where your faces of your boxes are glued on there or screwed on there or nailed on there some way that you can't get them off. It's really rare, but we do run into that every now and then. And what we do is we just paint the boxes themselves just standing up like this, but we don't want to get any paint or over spray inside the box. This one actually screws on. So we would just act like the door is still on. All right, now in order to mask this box, I'm just going to take, just wrap my masking around the entire box, start from the bottom. I got one more roll of masking like this. Now that box would be standing up just like this. The door front would be on this box. Now I can spray this box right here, just like that. And all the over spray is going to carry down this thing overlapping like this. You're not going to get any over spray inside your box. If you were spraying the back sides of these doors, you would flip this over. You would spray the backside first right here. Let that set up, flip it over. Now you spray the top and the front. You're not going to get any over spray over. That's what it looks like. Spray in the drawers, the boxes, if the front do not come off.
