- ams6110 8y agoI've never seen a pro use tape, unless they are spray painting. My guess is that it takes to long when you're probably being paid by the job not the hour.
- twothamendment 8y agoYes, and when you paint as much as they do they get good at it. I've seen a guy who's freehand looked better than what I can do with tape - and he was much faster.
- OJFord 8y agoI often get frustrated and resort to tape, but although it seems better while I'm doing it, I remove the tape and invariably discover that it's hard to (or at least, I'm bad at) taping straight.
- muzika 8y agoI have seen a pro calk the edge, then it was easier to tape over it straight.
