Two ways that have worked for me:

Slide some aluminum flashing between the rug and the molding; paint and
remove flashing when paint dries.

Or remove molding paint it outside and replace when paint dries

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?")




Thanks. I considered removing the moulding (spelling it correctly now), but
these are plaster walls. I'm very good at repairing plastic, but....I'd
rather not do it again. :-)
