My question is more towards curiosity than seeking advise, I know what works for us generally speaking.
This question is geared more towards commercial painting, not residential. I rarely spray residential.
We are wrapping up spray painting the exterior of a large metal siding / pole type building. A Morton or Armco building. We needed to trim out all the corner trim etc in an accent color. Generally in the past we just brush out all the trim after the siding is finished, this time we sprayed the trim and siding and used spray shields to keep one off the other.
Here is my issue, if I use a plastic spray shield it loads up with paint as you go, to the point it is dripping. Working in a lift makes keeping it cleaned off impractical. This time I bought a carton of pre-cut cardboard shields (I always scoffed at such a thought) and they worked ok. Once they loaded with paint I just tossed them.
What do others do? while using the shield was productive it becomes messy.
I thought of masking the corners with 12" masking paper but getting tape to stick to fresh Shercryl paint I have had issues in the past. I think it is just as efficient to cut and roll.
I appreciate any insight from those of you who spray paint far more than me.
Thanks.
