Tips On painting House

[edals]

Hey Guys, Ok, Tips on Painting the inside of the house.

Yes yes get some paint and a brush haha lol

I Need to paint Walls, Ceilings and door frames. Now how to get a perfect edge? I thought about using masking tape around the edges, Or is there something better to use?
The paint is old and The paint is being supplied and will paint in my own time.
Any help or ideas would be great :-)

Cheers

Get me to do it LOL.

Masking tape is a good idea, although you can purchase some proper painting tape which helps give you that perfect edge. Its blue in colour, just can't remember the name of it atm sorry.

+1 proper painting tape, on top of that you can use an edging thingo, its ilke a square plastic brush with rollers... they have them at bunnings for about 7bucks and they run along the door frame or whatever for a perfect edge

i've never used masking tape to cut in paint i just use the brush to do the cutting in.
not hard if you hold the brush correctly.

here i found a video of it
