What happens here

Before applying any primer or paint, carefully mask off all areas that should not be painted. The video demonstrates using 9-inch masking paper, 1-inch 2020 painter's tape, and 72-inch 3M masking film. Apply the tape neatly along the edges of the window frames and against any rubber seals to create sharp lines. Use the masking paper and film to cover the glass panes and surrounding building surfaces completely, protecting them from overspray. Secure all masking materials firmly to prevent them from moving during spray application.

Goal: Protect glass and surrounding surfaces from primer and paint

set really low on the 440. Hey, and we're actually masking off the windows right now. and we're spraying them with DTM bonding primer and then we're going to be painting them tricorn black. We've used 9 in paper with 1 in 2020 tape and then 72in 3M masking film and we've masked off up against the rubber and then we've sprayed them with the bonding primer first. We've actually gone and sanded the windows, power washed them.
