What happens here
Before beginning the painting process, it is crucial to protect all surrounding areas that are not intended to be painted. This involves covering the pool deck, the edge of the pool, and any structural supports of the slide with drop cloths or plastic sheeting. Use painter's tape to secure the edges of the coverings and to mask off any specific areas on the slide that you do not want to paint. The video shows masking paper already applied to parts of the slide.
Goal: Protect surrounding surfaces from paint overspray
