What happens here
With the tape caulked and ready, immediately begin applying the accent paint color along the taped edges using a brush. This step is critical to ensure the accent paint flows into the caulk seal before it completely cures. Apply the paint carefully along the tape, extending slightly over the caulk bead. The narrator suggests doing this to cut in around door frames and baseboards as well, where the accent color meets the lighter existing trim.
Goal: Apply the accent paint color along all taped and caulked edges.
