What happens here

Begin by masking off the glass panels and surrounding areas of the door that you do not want to be painted. The presenter specifically used Frog Tape Green, utilizing both 1-inch and 1.5-inch widths for precision. This type of tape is recommended because it effectively prevents paint from bleeding onto the glass, ensuring sharp, clean lines. Additionally, it ensures easy removal without leaving any sticky residue on the glass or other surfaces, even if the masking is pulled on the same day as painting.

Goal: Protect glass panels and adjacent door surfaces from paint overspray.

Tools and materials

  • Frog Tape Green — Masking off smaller edges and detailed areas around the glass
  • Plastic Sheeting/Film Implied 3M — Covering larger areas of the glass to protect from overspray, adhered with the Frog Tape

What they say

Hide

All right, I'm getting ready to spray a door right here. I masked off the glass. I used a frog tape, one inch and frog tape, inch and a half green on the glass, and ensures that I'm not gonna get any bleeding onto this glass that I won't have to go back and clean off. I like the frog tape green, even if I'm gonna pull the masking same day because it releases super easy when I'm trying to pull off this plastic on this window and anywhere around this door, the release is so much easier. It's gonna ensure there's not to be any residue left on this glass itself when I pull.
