What happens here

Continue the masking process by applying 1-inch masking tape along the tops of the baseboards, leaving the old color exposed on the top edge of the baseboard so the new paint color can cover it. Also, run strips of 9-inch paper and tape across window sills. This creates an additional layer of protection, preventing any drips or splatters from landing on the window sills or glass.

Goal: Protect all trim, windows, and exposed surfaces from paint
