Let’s talk ceiling cut ins! #painter

What happens here

The painter demonstrates the technique of rolling the main wall paint as high as possible, right up to the pre-painted cut-in line along the ceiling and door trim. The objective is to get the paint roller as close to these edges as accurately as possible without overlapping onto the cut-in area. This minimizes the unpainted gap between the rolled wall surface and the brushed cut-in, thereby reducing the amount of area that will need precise brushwork for touch-ups later.

Goal: Maximize wall paint coverage close to cut-in lines using a roller.

Now, I can see already, you know, there's some light areas right here and I always go back when everything's dry, that's the very last thing I do,
