How to Mask Windows & Doors for Exterior Spraying | Pro Tips for Windy Conditions
What happens here
For a door that has already been painted (like the black door shown), the goal is to protect the door itself, not necessarily the trim (which will be hand-painted). Drop the 72-inch masking film straight down the door frame, using the masker with 1.5-inch tape to secure the top edge. Then, secure the sides of the film to the door frame with tape. For the bottom section, where the trim might be rough or not ideal for direct tape adhesion, use 9-inch paper. Tack the paper onto the door jamb, then use tape to create a clean line and protect the already painted door from overspray. This method also allows for hand-rolling the bottom trim if desired.
Goal: Protect a painted door from overspray while allowing trim to be hand-painted.
