Prioritize meticulous preparation by laying down drop cloths on all ground surfaces to protect them from any paint drips or overspray. Use a 3M hand masker in conjunction with 9-inch paper or 72-inch masking film to completely cover all non-paintable surfaces, such as windows, doors, and any adjacent areas that should not be painted.
