How to mask curves for painting

Generally, there are a few steps to follow in order to mask a curved surface for painting. It mostly depends on what your job requires and which surfaces are concerned. But how can this process be performed? Let's find it out:

1. Before proceeding to paint you should start by masking large areas such as ceilings, walls, windows, and furniture to protect them from any drips or marks from the paint.
   
   
2. Next, get rid of dirt and debris that will have an unsightly effect once fresh paint is applied to it.
   
   
3. To keep areas next to the wall clean and without any color or paint splash, you will want a masking tape that seals tightly to the surface and come off easily.
   
   
4. Once you masked all areas, you can begin painting the walls. For a professional result add a second layer of paint once the first coat is already dry.

There’s not a single type of tape that will work in every circumstance but we’ve got the right masking tape for your job. Let's see which PPM products are perfect for your painting jobs.
