Those are some really crisp paint lines. Even better than the 3M masking tape to prevent edge bleeding is to start with 1/4″ or even 1/8″ 3M vinyl tape at the paint edges/curves, then cover that with masking paper with the 3M masking tape. And yes, burnishing the edge tape is critical. No criticism intended here – you really did a great job!
