Paint Window Trim in 3 Minutes

What happens here

Once the paint has been applied and is still wet (especially for one-coat applications), carefully remove the painter's tape and plastic sheeting from the window pane. Pull the tape slowly at a 45-degree angle to prevent tearing or lifting the fresh paint. If any paint has bled underneath the masking onto the vinyl window, quickly wipe it off with a wet rag before it dries. After removing the masking, clean your tools, particularly the brush, to ensure longevity.

Goal: Remove protective masking and clean painting tools.
