Masking to Spray on Stucco? Painting a Commercial Building Solo with an Inner Fed Roller!

What happens here

Masking doors is similar to windows, but often requires more precision to protect the door's surface while allowing for the new paint color to come up to the edge. Apply painter's tape along the door frame, overlapping the door's existing paint color by about 1/16 of an inch. This slight overlap ensures that the new paint covers the old color completely, preventing the old color from showing once the tape is removed. Attach masking paper to the tape to cover the door completely. For efficiency, use a masking tool that can dispense both paper and plastic.

Goal: Protect door surfaces from overspray and ensure a clean transition between old and new paint colors.

your new color or the um down onto the um the wind window or door itself i do like carrying two maskers with me because i am doing paper and plastic masking and that way i don't have to you know switch out paper and plastic and i don't have to go look for another masker and i can also get all the masking done as i move around the building when i'm carrying both maskers [Music] if you have windy conditions if you just pull your masking down tack it tight that'll hold it while you're masking in the wind i always take my mats to pull them out turn them upside down in case any disaster happened you wouldn't get anything on the top of your mat you can pull them way out of the way too but turning them upside down definitely works we're right next to a highway so since i power wash it's already got a lot of dust on it it's just gonna keep yourself a duster
