Painting Accent Walls. Tips from a Pro!
What happens here
Mask the edges of the accent wall where it meets adjacent walls, the ceiling, and the baseboards. For precise lines, especially with dark paint, use FrogTape. After applying the tape, apply a very light bead of Tower Accelerator Caulking along the edge of the tape where it meets the accent wall. Immediately wipe off any excess caulk with a damp sponge, leaving just enough to seal the tape's edge. This prevents paint bleed under the tape, which is particularly important on imperfect or bumpy surfaces.
Goal: Create perfectly sharp paint lines and prevent bleed
