What is a spray shield?
A spray shield consists of a flat sheet connected to a handle. As its name implies, it is used to shield surfaces from unwanted paint.
In airless spraying, paint shields provide effective protection against overspray.
They can also help to reduce work load, time and material otherwise necessary to mask and cover areas during paint application.
When to use a spray shield
Spray shields can be used to protect edges, ceilings and floors when applying paint.
They are also effective when painting door and window frames, and adding color changes.
Economical and reuseable tools, they greatly reduce the time and effort necessary for taping and masking prior to spraying, providing a clean and sharp finish.

How to correctly position a spray shield
The paint shield should be positioned so that it protects the area you want to safeguard.
The handle can be adjusted to different angles for an optimal use. While spraying, move the paint shield along with the airless sprayer, keeping the degree of tilt consistent.
For hard-to-reach areas, the spray shield can be attached to an extension pole for easy access. The handle is usually 40cm long, but it can be replaced by a 120cm-extension handle.
