RE: Protecting Carpet While Painting Trim By fendercw22 (1) Contact We used post cards and shoved them between the carpet and baseboards...worked like a charm!

It can go right against the edge of what you're painting and will pull of easily when finished.

They're heavy and thin enough to do the job.

Make sure any drips have dried before removing.

Just cut the strings from the blinds, and place the plastic in between your molding and your carpet, and pull it along with you as you paint - very effective, and no mess at all! Just don't leave the plastic blind in place ready for your second coat - it will harden there and chip the paint when you then try to pry it off (always have to learn something the hard way, right?)

Contact Take a cardboard carton and cut strips and shove the cardboard under the trim. Then when you paint it will drip on the cardboard and not on your rug. You should still use the large painting cloth. Posted on 02/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Protecting Carpet While Painting Trim By April (Guest Post) I use double stick tape. Put it on the underside of your plastic and it wont move on the floor. Posted on 02/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
