What happens here

Immediately after spraying the painted walls and while the paint is still wet, carefully remove all masking plastic and tape from the windows and any other protected surfaces. If the paint is allowed to dry completely before removing the masking, it can create a 'bridge' between the plastic and the painted wall. When the dry masking is pulled, it can peel off paint from the wall, ruining the crisp line and finish.

Goal: Prevent paint bridging and peeling by removing masking while wet.

What they say

Hide

on that wall. Now, while this paint is still wet around these windows, we want to pull this masking off. Otherwise, the paint will bridge from the plastic over to the window and it'll peel off the paint. So, you just got to be really careful and pull it off while it's wet.
