Default tips needed to painting baseboard next to carpeting

subject line says it all...

pull 'em off, sand, and paint would seem to be the best..


If all they need is a coat of paint...

I've used a 12" mud knife. Push deep into where carpet meets baseboard.
Pull back to move carpet away from baseboard. Paint. Slide sideways.
Gotta wipe off knife every once in a while.

Should actually get one of these. 36" length.
