What happens here

Begin the masking process using a 3M hand masker. Mask the footings (the bottom part of the door frame) to protect them from paint. Next, mask the two door knobs by covering them completely with masking paper and tape. Finally, mask the inside of the door frame (jamb) to prevent any overspray from reaching the interior of the house. Use 1.5-inch tape all around the inside of the door frame. Ensure the tape is also applied to the back and front sides of the door's edges where it meets the frame when closed.

Goal: Protect door hardware and interior from overspray

We use a 3M hand masker. We're going to mask the footings off. We're going to mask the two door knobs off. And we're going to mask the inside of the door. Here we've actually masked the inside to make sure no overspray goes through. We just use inch and a half tape all around the inside of the door so overspray won't go on the inside of the trim. We put it all the way around the door. We actually put it on the back side. This side of the door too. And then we put it on this side also. And then the handles.
