What happens here

Before beginning to spray, all windows must be meticulously masked to prevent overspray. Use plastic sheeting to cover the entire window area. Secure the plastic with masking tape around the window frame. To ensure a crisp line and prevent paint from bleeding under the tape, apply a thin bead of paintable caulk along the edge where the masking tape meets the vinyl window frame. This creates a seal that paint cannot penetrate.

Goal: Protect windows from overspray and prevent paint bleed.

Tools and materials

  • Caulk gun — Applying caulk evenly
  • Caulk — Sealing tape edges to prevent paint bleed
  • Masking plastic/film 3M — Covering and protecting windows from overspray
  • Masking tape 3M — Securing the plastic and defining paint lines
