Step-by-step process
Step 1
Grab your tools.
Step 2
Tape off any area you want to remain paint-free (trim, ceiling & electrical sockets).
Tip:
It is best to remove the electrical socket frame instead of painting around the frame.
Step 3
Dip the brush into the paint and tap off any excess paint.
Step 4
With short strokes, paint away from the taped off areas.
Tip:
You will want to cut in about 3-4 inches or twice the width of your brush.
