Need help painting corner on a textured wall/ceiling corner?

I'm painting my room and the walls and ceiling are different colors. Does anyone know of a way I can get up to the corner without it looking uneven?? I can't use the painters tape because the paint just goes right under it.


Does anyone have any artistic suggestions? I was thinking maybe sponging the ceiling color onto the wall at the top to make a kind of border.Need help painting corner on a textured wall/ceiling corner?
use a regular brush to get as close as you can then use a flat soft bristle artist brush (the one i use is at wallmart in the craft section-blue handle, yellowish bristles) and take your time. you will be able to get a straight line. anyone can achieve their desired look with a little patience. hope everything goes well:) ps dont use the cut in tool the dont work well and look awful also there is a special type of blue tape that is slick feeling compared to regular blue painters tape that wont allow the paint to crawl underneath of itNeed help painting corner on a textured wall/ceiling corner?
Are you asking how to cut in at the ceiling? My Dad was a housepainter and here is what he did. Take a ruler and measure and lightly mark with a pencil a quarter to an eighth of an inch down from the ceiling all the way around the room. Take a yard stick and lightly pencil in a line from mark to mark so you have a straight line all the way around the room. If the ceiling needs to be painted do it before you paint the wall. Now, take a 2-inch angled brush and using the line as a guide paint a line all the way around the room UP TO that line. It won't matter if it is not right into the corner because the eye won't see it as such. You will just see the ceiling and the wall paint coming up to it. Be as neat as possible but don't get too hung up on it. If you are not using high contrast paint colors a slight uneven area here or there won't really matter.





After you do this you can continue to paint the wall as normal.





Another way to do it is to purchase a ceiling cut-in tool at your local or chain paint store. I think the brand is shur-line. This is a pad and device it fits into about 3 by 4. It has little wheels on one side. As long as you don't get paint on the wheels you can use this toold to get really good line on ceilings, door and windo frames, etc. I use both methods on ceilings. The shur line tool is under $10, I think. Good luck, be neat and methodical and you will do a great job.
sponging covers a lot of errors..however at your local hardware store you should be able to purchase an EDGER..it`s kinda` like a thin sponge but with a guide for straight edges..and they are really cheap. If you wash it out when you`re done you can use it again.
You just answered your own question.
