We do use a brush every now and then! #paintlife #painter #painting

What happens here

Continue the cutting-in process for all remaining edges and features in the room. This includes any vertical wall corners not yet painted and, as visibly demonstrated in the video, around door frames. If painter's tape (like the green FrogTape shown on the door frames) has been applied to trim, paint carefully along the edge of the tape, allowing for a slight overlap onto the tape itself to ensure a clean, crisp line when the tape is removed. For untaped corners, continue to rely on precise brushwork similar to how the ceiling edges were handled. Ensure all edges requiring a brush are covered before moving to larger rolling tasks.

Goal: Achieve clean paint lines along all remaining wall corners and masked trim elements.
