What happens here

For windows, doors, pipes, electrical components, and other fixed fixtures, use masking paper and plastic film to prevent overspray. Mask the entire glass area of windows with plastic film, then frame the window and trim with masking paper secured with tape. For pipes and electrical boxes, wrap them tightly with masking paper and secure with tape to ensure crisp paint lines and complete protection.

Goal: Protect non-painted fixtures and achieve clean paint lines.

[Music] Now you can see once I get spray once I've sprayed around this window, this is still wet. I'll show you. I'm going to pull this paper off and then somebody could actually start rolling this window cuz we've controlled the overspray over these windows by um making our painting process a lot faster by covering it with paper. and somebody can actually start rolling this trim. You see, to control any overspray from getting on the glass, we've already got plastic mast, and that's 3M uh plastic 72-inch film.
