Masking to spray with an airless sprayer. Idaho Painter spraying tips.

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates masking a doorknob plunger. He takes a piece of green FrogTape, tears it off, and carefully wraps it around the door's plunger (the latch mechanism extending from the door edge). This ensures that the plunger, which often gets paint on it, receives a clean application of paint from the spray while still allowing it to function smoothly. The goal is to provide a consistent color to the plunger, matching the door, while preventing paint from getting inside the mechanism.

Goal: Protect the doorknob plunger from paint overspray and ensure a clean finish.
