My friend has a jacuzzi tub and wants to update the hardware. However, it's not going to be possible, because all access to the outside/underside of the tub is tiled around and there is no access panel. If we unhook, say, a jet or something, and a tube falls under the tub, we're screwed; we'd not be able to get it hooked back up unless we removed some tile, and that's just not an option. Here's what the tub looks similar to: http://www.ecobuildingbargains.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/whirlpool-jacuzzi-tub-450.jpg.
So, my friend likes to use spray paint, and she's actually very good at it. She's thinking she can just spray all the jets/escutcheons/spout/etc., but she would certainly need to mask the tub area. The hardest part would be around the round escutcheon plates.
So my question is this. How the heck do you mask around round objects like the escutcheon plates? There's gotta be an easier way than taking small strips of tape and slowly placing them on the tub around the escutcheon. Any suggestions? Do they happen to make a masking tape that is pre-cut, say, every inch on one side to allow it to be rounded?
