Most People Get This WRONG – How to Mask Windows Like a Pro

What happens here

Return to the door frame. With the top already secured, unfold the plastic sheeting downwards to cover the entire door surface. Use the masking film dispenser to apply painter's tape along the remaining vertical side and the bottom edge of the door frame, pulling the plastic taut as you go. For extra protection against overspray, especially near the ground, use the paper masking attachment on the dispenser to apply painter's paper along the bottom perimeter, overlapping the plastic sheeting and securing it with tape. This creates a solid barrier against paint.

Goal: Fully mask the door frame and protect the surrounding ground from overspray.

So that's how I go about masking a small window. So I'm just gonna drop plastic down this door. You can see the wind picking up once the blow my masking away. But I'm not gonna get frustrated. I can just grab it anywhere right here in the middle. So tack that down quickly before it starts blowing around again. I'll just tack that down. I'm gonna tack this over here. You see the winds blowing in around a little bit. It's all right, paper masker. It's going to go on here just like this. Get down. Now that's gonna protect that. I'll tack the paper down on the ground. This, tack it right here. If you're concerned, you know, with over spray, it's again, if you're not, you know, has good with it, an airless sprayer, you're concerned about that. Once again, you can protect the whole entire thing if you want to. Throw some, tack some paper on there. And now, you know, that's protected.
