What happens here

Mask the crown molding and the top edge of the walls using 9-inch paper and 1-inch 2020 3M tape. The presenter notes that because the walls will be painted next, and the carpets are slated for replacement, there is no need for additional masking on the walls or drop cloths on the floor. Set the paint sprayer's pressure to a relatively low setting to minimize overspray and prevent wet paint from falling onto the floor.

Goal: Protect adjacent surfaces from overspray while optimizing setup for subsequent work.

Tools and materials

  • 1-inch 2020 3M Tape 3M — Securing the masking paper
  • 9-inch Paper — Masking the upper portion of the walls and crown molding
  • Respirator — Protecting against inhaling paint fumes and fine particles

The walls are going to be painted next, but we're spraying the ceilings first. So we're not concerned about fallout, anything coming onto the ceiling itself. And um I've got my pressure turned down fairly low so we don't have to worry about overspray um any wet paint falling down onto the floor. The carpets are going to be replaced. So, we don't have to worry about the carpet. So, you're not going to see any drop loss down. So,
