Can FrogTape be applied to fresh paint? For application to fresh paint (at least 24 hours old), we recommend you use FrogTape Delicate Surface. FrogTape Multi-Surface should only be applied to cured surfaces. In relation to paint, “cured” does not mean the same thing as “dry”.

Yes! Unlike the medium blue colored tape that does sometimes take a little paint with it when it is quickly pulled off the wall, the green tape really does not pull paint off. ... unless you put way too much paint over the edge of either tape!
If the paint dries and you notice that the paint is pulling up with the tape, or that the paint is cracking along the paint line as you remove the tape, score along the edge of the tape with a razor blade before removing. This breaks the seal between paint and tape, ensuring a cleaner line and easier removal.
The best tape to use when painting walls is painter's tape, specifically those labeled as ``blue tape'' or ``green tape.'' Here are some popular options: Blue Painter's Tape: This is a standard choice for many DIYers and professionals. It adheres well to surfaces, is easy to remove, and helps create clean lines.

Cutting in is the process of painting edges or straight lines with a quality angled brush without tape. It is all done freehand. This is the method that most professional painters use. The case can be made that using painter's tape is extremely time consuming and can be a colossal waste of time.
