Is it better to spray or brush trim?

Is it OK to cut in one day and paint the next?

If you are painting inside corners of a wall where both sides of the wall are the same color, then it’s okay to cut in afterwards. When you are priming walls and ceilings, it is okay to roll first. All of the paint, regardless of where you are painting, should be a white primer for new drywall.

Do you let cut in dry before rolling?

Cut in the corners before you roll paint on the main surfaces. Use a 2- or 3-inch brush for paints. You can cut-in around the trim either before or after rolling. Because the drying time of flat and eggshell latex paint is so short, you can cut-in an entire room before filling in the walls.
