Insanely precise method of cutting-in required!

[potato80]

Hi all.

I am painting some kitchen units in-situ. They sit alongside marble backsplash and countertops.

I basically need a very precise method of cutting in; any tips beyond....

1. Going slowly
2. Using an angled brush
3. V careful application of tape

...?

Any advice very much appreciated!

Looks like you may be able to slide something between the splashback and cupboard?

Masq purple masking tape.
Be easier to spray that moulding

Good point about the spraying. I've actually got a tacklife sprayer I could use, if it can deal with the satinwood/eggshell paint

As mentioned above it does look like you could probably slide a wide scraper into the gap while you paint but otherwise mask it up as best you can and you will be fine as any overspill paint will easily scrape off the marble with a flat Stanley blade

A bit of extra advice, when trying to get it corners with a brush it helps pressing down with the handle and extending the bristles as much as possible, then a turn of the wrist and the brush can get in to 90 degree angles.
