What happens here

After the shower has completely dried, it's time to mask and protect all surrounding areas. Apply Frog Tape meticulously around all edges of the shower where it meets tiles or other bathroom surfaces. This prevents paint from bleeding through. On top of the Frog Tape, apply two rows of 9-inch paper to create an additional barrier. Finally, lay a drop cloth on the bathroom floor to catch any drips or overspray. These measures ensure that only the shower insert receives paint.

Goal: Protect all surrounding surfaces from overspray and drips before painting.

Tools and materials

  • 9-inch Paper — Providing additional protection against overspray
  • Drop Cloth — Protecting the bathroom floor from paint drips and overspray
  • Frog Tape FrogTape — Masking off edges to prevent paint bleed

painting this thing. So, we're going to start masking this thing. It's all dry now. We're going to run Frog Tape. Just got some Frog Tape around. We're going to run around all of our edges cuz we don't want any of this stuff bleeding through when we spray it and getting on our tile. This thing's all surrounded with tile. So, we're going to run Frog Tape first and then run two two rows of 9 in paper beyond that. And then we're going to drop a drop cloth down here and then we'll spray it.
