Painting An Exterior FAST! Done in 2 days with 1 Painter.

What happens here

After preparing the surfaces, mask off all windows and trim that will not be painted the same color as the house body. Use masking tape and plastic sheeting to protect these areas from overspray. For the garage door, mask the weather stripping and close the garage door completely to prevent overspray on the vehicle inside. The presenter emphasizes that professional painters typically pull masking on the same day to avoid paint setting on tape, but if it has to stay overnight, it will be fine.

Goal: Protect unpainted surfaces from overspray

Tools and materials
