thanks! which kind of painter’s tape did you use on the sides, and did you get any black paint seeping under the tape?
I am getting very anal about this. I don’t want a jagged paint line. I am thinking about painting the bottom, then after turning it right side up, painting the 1″ overlap on the sides so I’m not fighting gravity, adding to the chances of paint seeping under the tape, although the capillary action at that point is probably stronger than gravity.
(yes, I’m an engineer, and yes, I’m overthinking this).
