Here's one that's been bugging me for a while.

When I paint a room, I cut in the edges and corners with a brush. The
edges always look streaky and discolored compared to the rest of the
wall.

Using name brand paint and a narrow high-dollar brush. I'm not saying
which paint because someone will inevitably say, "Well there's your
problem right there... Brand XXX paint is no good. Get brand YYY."

You've got this beautiful roller texture up to about 1" from the edge,
then spooge. Even cutting in with 5-6 coats vs. 1-2 with the roller on
the rest of the wall.

For corners where one wall meets another wall and they're the same
color, you could try a corner roller. That's what I use, and it works
pretty well. Paints both surfaces simultaneously and because it's a
roller, the texture matches the rest of the rolled-on paint.


Boy oh boy. All these gizmos. Corner rollers, pads with wheels, funny
looking foam brushes, As Seen on TV stuff, etc.

If it isn't painted with a roller it gets painted with a brush. Hell, I
even painted an old pickup of mine with a brush and Rustoleum Rusty Metal
Primer. Dries fast if ya take a ride on the interstate. OK so it gets a
little textured. Sure, I could have used spray cans or a roller but that
wouldn't have been as much fun.
