What happens here
Once the paint has dried sufficiently, carefully begin removing the masking materials from windows and other protected areas. This step shows two individuals working together, one pulling the plastic sheeting and the other carefully peeling back the painter's tape from around a window. It's important to remove tape and plastic slowly and at a shallow angle to prevent peeling off fresh paint or leaving adhesive residue. This reveals the clean, unpainted surfaces underneath, creating sharp lines.
Goal: Carefully remove plastic sheeting and tape from masked windows.
