How to paint a horizontal stripe without the paint bleeding.

Question

We painted a horizontal stripe in a baby room, and unfortunately when we pulled the tape off the paint had bled on the color underneath. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

underneath the paint, or underneath the tape?  if the latter, they need to buy better tape, prime the area or allow the paint to cure longer before striping. if the paint bled through they need to prep the site with an actualy primer or two coats of color. (primer would be better it has a glue that seals the undercolor)

Answer 2

You usually have to take your fingernail and go along the tape real good to make sure it is adhered real good to prevent leaking

It was probably just a little loose in that spot!
