Step 3: Using painters’ tape, tape off the area that you don’t want to paint. Make sure you push the tape firmly into the sides and creases of the frame to stop painting leaking behind the tape.
Step 4: Using a small paint brush, paint along the frame with your chosen Resene colour, making sure to get paint into all the creases of the frame.
