One of our house painting tips we like to share is how to paint lines that look good and professional. With years of experience as painting contractor, we’ve developed a painting method that will help you when completing your painting projects.
Many people rely on masking tape to create clean paint lines when painting a room, but the results are often unpredictable and messy due to “bleed-through” and tape lines.
Our advice is to mask only to protect non-painted surfaces from spatter, and learn to create clean paint lines through eye-hand coordination. One trick is to use long strokes starting back from the edge being painted gradually pushing the color into the corner or edge. Often, when a paint line looks uneven, it is due to the color not going all of the way into the corner (In the photo; the blue goes all of the way to the ceiling). Holding back from the corner leaves a bit of unpainted space, which looks messy.
