Quick overspray FIX!
What happens here
Begin by using a masking machine to apply masking paper and painter's tape along the edges of the area you intend to spray paint. The masking machine, which dispenses both the brown masking paper and the orange painter's tape simultaneously, allows for quick and precise application. Carefully position the tape to create a straight, clean line where the paint will end. Ensure the paper covers all adjacent surfaces that should not be painted, pressing the tape firmly to secure it and prevent paint from bleeding underneath. Work methodically around the entire perimeter of the area to be painted, such as a window or door frame, ensuring complete coverage.
Goal: Protect surrounding surfaces from overspray.
