The method requires patience, diligence, time and extra paint!
Step 1: Paint wall color onto walls and onto the trim. Do not worry about a straight line you want the wall color to be on the trim.
Step 2: Use painter's tape to tape along all edges.
Step 3: Paint wall color over the tape to seal the seam.
Step 4: Paint the trim color on the trim and onto the tape's seam.
Step 5: Be sure the paint is dry and remove the tape.
Step 6: Stand back and admire your work!

Didn't you forget a step. You said something about using an exacto knife along the tape?
ReplyDeleteI thought the exacto knife was needed all along the edge but I was wrong...only where the tape started to tear, which was along the hardwood floor where the base moulding was painted.
