What happens here

Begin by gathering all necessary materials and tools. The presenter recommends using 72-inch 3M flake-resistant masking film and 3M 2020 masking tape.

Tools and materials

  • 3M 2020 Masking Tape 3M — Securing the masking film to the window frame
  • 3M Flake-Resistant Masking Film 3M — Covering the window surface to protect it from paint
