I know - it should be done before the carpet goes down, but in one room, I
don't have a choice at the moment. Anyone have any amazing tricks to avoid
getting paint on the carpet while painting the molding? I've already
imagined some schemes with the blue tape, but I'm open to new ideas, or to
someone else doing the job. (Teenage son says "Me?")

If your paint is molding you have a moisture problem. Is the carpet
wet? Is this a poured concrete floor. You got water leaking in
somewhere. You will need to find the leak and fix it. After that,
use some KILZ to stop the mold after scrubbing the area first.

Jeezus...

I believe he means moulding.

Mask off the carpet, or use a paint shield. If you are hand
painting, just use the paint shield and keep it clean.
