i agree cjzgg. Why slap all that paint on door casing,cut it properly ,now u need at least 2 coats to cover casing.. Thats why i like to finish casing first then make neat cut,easier to cut wall than casing. Buddy in video go have another burger.

why the fuck do all the jokers paint like that why would u hit the trim ???????????????? so u tape the wall after or u spend 10 mins getting perfect lines ?? i really dont know

A good painter should not have to use tape! Grady is correct to bring the wall paint onto the trim. You then cut your trims into the walls! That way you get no misses between wall and trim.

if you cut in by hand with a brush and your good it will look good ,but if you cut in with tape and caulk
and your good it will look perfect
take it from me i use tape on the jobs where my clients aren’t fucking cheap fucks bottom line

This guy’s quite good at cutting in. Lines are good, full, and straight.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
I agree. It may take longer, but taping is definately the way to go. You lines will be straight as hell.

the only time and place you should ever use tape, is on baseboard when its already been painted or stained. you can say your good and steady all you want, but no body, and i mean NO BODY can cut in straighter than a roll of tape. you should also know how to apply tape. you cant just stretch it on the baseboard and call it good. i can cut in all day long without tape, but, for perfectly straight lines and repeat happy customers i’ll spend an extra 5 bucks and ten minutes on every job.

ive been painting for 10 years never used tape to cut in a ceiling.i would prob get fired if i tried.
March 23rd, 2010 at 3:36 am
@lovesomecujo why waste the time? Unless your gunna spray it….learn to use a brush…I bet I can cut in and be done with it before you finish tape..lol
March 23rd, 2010 at 8:13 pm
yeah you probably can. i know how to use a brush i just dont like having to slow down. i would rather spend the time taping off and then go right through it. and like i said you get a super straight line with tape. as long as you dont cake paint on it so much that it bleed through
