One strip at a time with Emerald Rain Refresh. Using FrogTape High Adhesion tape and FrogTape Orange
What happens here
Begin by masking off the areas adjacent to the trim that will be painted. Use a masking tool that dispenses masking tape and masking paper or film simultaneously. Carefully apply the masking tape along the edge where the trim meets the siding, ensuring the masking paper covers the siding completely to protect it from overspray. Work your way around the trim, creating a clean line for painting.
Goal: Protect surrounding surfaces from paint overspray.
