The problem is I am not sure how I will paint the bottom part because of the carpet. What is the easiest way to paint it without having to remove the carpet? Are there paint shields specifically designed for stairs? Thanks
Shove it between the wall and carpet, lever it down, paint wall, remove. WIPE OFF PAINT BEFORE REINSTALLING TO PAINT NEXT SECTION! A thin piece of sheet metal will do the same thing.
Using your finger tips, tuck the tape that is lining the edge of the tarp into where the carpet and wall meet.
Oil container supplies a valid advice, and in need of (no pun meant) determining to purchase a 10 ft. step, you would be able to discover an low fee sixteen ft. extension. the real concern isn't plenty the extension pole, there are all way of lengths obtainable. extra significant is any secure practices concern, and slicing the wall to the ceiling. If that's not an argument, then that's a moot element. I paint daily of my existence, and do all i can to stay away from probability. Steven Wolf
I don't see any mention in your Q about a TARP, but certainly the carpet needs to be masked, and covered with drops. You can use shielding, but it's a tedious, often one step at a time process. In your case a lot of prep will give you the better job. I might use thin plexi. or even a wide blade MUD knife, to press back the carpet, then with something substantial like gaffing tape, or even Duct tape pressed into the carpet to keep the fibers off the area to be painted. In any case cutting will be the major issue, and caution the keyword. The prep alone will take longer than the painting, but worth the effort,and seemingly your better option. NO I might not pull the carpet, but then again, I don't have an idea of how the carpet has been installed? Tack Strips? Nailed/stapled to the wall butting? Glued? Steven Wolf Just my two sense
