What happens here

Using the hand masker, apply masking paper and tape to the concrete drive or floor directly beneath the garage door. Ensure the masking extends far enough inwards so that when the garage door is lowered, it rests completely on the paper, preventing any overspray from reaching the concrete. Tack down all edges of the paper securely with additional tape to prevent it from flipping up due to wind or sprayer force, which could result in paint getting on the wet door or other surfaces.

Goal: Protect the concrete from overspray
