What happens here

Begin by masking the weather stripping at the bottom of the garage door. Load the 3M Hand Masker with 9-inch paper and 3M 2020 tape. Apply the tape directly to the weather strip; if the weather strip is dusty or dirty, ensure the tape adheres to the cleaner metal surface underneath for better adhesion. Extend the masking paper so it tucks behind the weather strip, providing complete coverage. Afterward, tack the excess paper up underneath the bottom edge of the garage door using small pieces of tape, ensuring no overspray can get under the door when it is lowered. The back side of the door does not require masking as the door panels are typically sealed.

Goal: Protect the bottom weather stripping from paint overspray

If the weather strip is dusty and dirty, you want to just stick it to the metal underneath. I'll run my my paper back to the the end of the door so it's tucked behind the weather strips and we'll show you what that looks like. A close look. We're going to take and tack it up underneath. So when we lower the garage down, this is completely covered. No overspray can get underneath the door. We don't need to worry about the backside. No overspray will go through the cracks of the door at all cuz they're completely sealed. And I'll show you what it looks like. See, we've put two rows of masking down that's below the garage door. We've run
