What happens here

Reinstall the dried, freshly painted door back into its frame. Before removing any masking tape, use a sharp utility knife to score the paint along the edges where the tape meets the painted surface. This creates a clean break in the paint film and prevents the paint from peeling off with the tape, ensuring crisp, clean lines. Carefully peel off all masking, then reinstall the weatherstripping and door hardware. Take your time during unmasking to avoid damaging the fresh paint. If any minor paint bleed occurs, a razor blade can be carefully used to scrape it away.
