Tape off the trim
To avoid getting paint on the walls or other surfaces, it’s important to tape off the trim before you start painting. You can use painter’s tape or any other type of masking tape that’s wide enough to cover the area you’re working on.
When taping off the trim, be sure to press the tape down firmly so that there’s a good seal. Otherwise, paint may seep under the tape and ruin your clean lines.

Remove the tape while the paint is still wet
Once you’ve finished painting, carefully remove the tape while the paint is still wet. This will help prevent any peeling or flaking that can occur when the paint dries.
If you find that the paint has already dried, you can use a utility knife to carefully score the edge of the tape, then pull it off.
