What happens here

After all edges are taped, take a final look at the entire masked window to ensure no vinyl (window frame) is exposed. Check for any small holes or gaps along the taped edges where paint could potentially leak through during spraying. Run your hand firmly across all the taped seams and the perimeter of the masking to ensure a tight, secure seal. Any detected leaks or exposed areas should be patched with additional 3M 2020 masking tape to prevent paint from getting on the window.

Goal: Verify complete protection and seal all edges to prevent paint bleed.

What they say

Hide

Take a look at your window to make sure no vinyl is actually exposed. You can do any touchup with tape. If your lines are a little bit off, make sure all the way around there's no vinyl exposed. If there's little holes, you want to check to make sure there's any holes that could be actually leaks when you're actually spraying the house. Paint could actually leak through there. Once you're all done, rub your hand across the whole perimeter to make sure that it's all tacked down good.
