How do you paint a room with a white stucco ceiling without having the paint bleed into the ceiling?

when we use that cutting tape there are small dips where the paint seeps through. Any tips? Any ideas are welcome and appreciated! THank you!How do you paint a room with a white stucco ceiling without having the paint bleed into the ceiling?
How steady is your hand? Most pros, and a lot of amateurs, don't use tape to cut a wall into the ceiling. Use a good quality brush, such as a Purdy 2-1/2'; sash brush, to follow the corner. It takes some practice, but you will find that it goes much faster then taking the time to tape.

Paint it by parts. With a brush, paint a square and spread the paint of that square around the stucco wall with a clean rag. Repeat that until the whole wall is done. Be very careful when painting around the tape, don't apply a lot of paint around or on it.

Get Frog Tape. It forms a seal better than regular tape and will expand if paint hits it to improve the seal. A good brush and a steady hand are helpful too.
Don't use tape on the ceiling...just cut it with a steady hand a good brush. Take your time and it will turn out fine.
They have line helpers at places like home depot. You place it where the wall %26amp; Ceiling meet %26amp; then paint.
