Painting around carpet, drip protect! #contractor #renovation #howtotiktok #dailylife #pov #painter
What happens here
Before painting, properly prepare the area. This involves covering the carpeted treads with masking paper to protect them from paint drips. Secure the masking paper along the edge of the carpet and riser with a layer of blue painter's tape. Then, apply a second, narrower strip of green painter's tape precisely along the bottom edge of the riser, creating a crisp line for the paint. The video implicitly starts with this setup already complete.
Goal: Protect surrounding surfaces and create clean paint lines
