Anyone have a helpfull tip for interior painting. I have to put two coats
on the walls (latex), and I only want to cut the ceiling in once to save
time. Anyway to do that so it doesn`t show a fainter color at the top of
wall? Thanks.

Have you tried blue painters tape?

i know you want to save time, so save it. prime the ceiling, then paint the
ceiling. you wont save time today, but 3 or 4 years from now you wont be
painting again and thats where you will save time.

Make sure you prime. If you're using a dark color, use tinted primer.
Then, use good quality, fairly large (3-4") brush that is well loaded
with paint. Under these circumstances, you might get lucky and get
away with one coat, but I doubt it.
