One of many reasons I prefer trim to have a clear hard finish, that can
outlast multiple paint jobs. Just mask and paint. But to address the
original question, I have seen pro painters cut in the baseboard in a
carpeted office using a metal shield the slips under the baseboard-
paint a couple feet, slide down, and repeat. But with most things like
this, experience makes a big difference- I could never do it, I'd always
have a dribble off the trailing end from applying too much paint.
