What happens here

For areas around obstacles such as a masked doorknob, you may need to adjust your spraying angle or re-mask more precisely. Apply paint to these sections by once again starting the spray on a masked area (or a previously painted, non-critical part of the door), moving the gun across the area requiring paint, and releasing the trigger on another masked area or after ensuring the spray is clear of the critical surface. This careful approach ensures all parts are covered while avoiding unwanted sputtering or uneven application near small, intricate areas.

Goal: Address areas around obstacles like door handles by carefully positioning masking and using the same 'start-off, stop-off' technique to ensure complete coverage without spits.
