How to get clean, crisp lines when painting! #diyprojects

Another common question when it comes to painting. HOW do I get a clean, crisp paint line? 📐

Painting a straight, even, and crisp paint line isn’t always easy! Let me share with you my easiest technique and a few other options as well.

Easiest technique: Use frog tape press firmly to your wall. Apply the existing paint color over the tape. This seals the tape and doesn’t allow for the next paint color to sneak under the tape.

Let that dry and apply your new color over top. Apply all coats then PULL your tape when the LAST coat is WET! This. Is. Crucial. (Best way to pull is at a 45 degree angle)

If you don’t have the existing wall color here’s a few other options.
1. Tape a damp rag and wildly wet the frog tape. This activates the glue to help seal it.
2. Use a clear polyurethane (preferably in the same sheen) to coat the tape before adding the second color.
3. Mod Podge
4. Clear paint
