What happens here
Begin by applying high-quality painter's tape, such as green FrogTape, around all the trim elements in the room. This includes door jams, baseboards, and window trim. Ensure the tape is applied directly onto the trim, not the adjacent wall, to achieve a sharp, clean paint line. Stretch the tape as you apply it and firmly press it down with your fingers to seal the edges and prevent paint from bleeding underneath.
Goal: Create clean, crisp paint lines by carefully taping all trim surfaces.
