(4) Wall Painting
Step 1- Clean & Check
Before painting the surface, it’s important to make sure the
provided paint shield is still in place. This shield provides for a
precise and easy way to mask the opening. First, make sure the
opening is completely free of excess drywall mud and debris.
NOTE: no additional masking tape is needed over the paint
shield. Once the painting is complete, it will be discarded.
Step 2- Paint
Painting a wall/ceiling with Architectural
Series openings is no di
ff
erent than
painting any other drywall surface. The
paint can be rolled directly over the
openings - cutting around with a brush is
not necessary. Before the paint is
completely dry, it is a good idea to
clean-up the area inside the mud dam
using a dry mini roller (1”) or a dry
paintbrush. Simply roll the roller or run
the paintbrush around the mud dam
edge to help prevent any unnecessary
build-up, or drips around the opening.
