You need painter’s tape. Most home stores have it, it is usually blue. You put it on the wall, right up as close as you can get to the trim. Then when your trim is all painted, you peel off the tape. You still want to be careful, so the paint won’t go up under the tape, but it will protect the wall.
get a very small paint brush and carefully paint the trim where it meets the wall,it takes a pretty steady hand to do it,use a bigger brush to paint the big part of the trim,go slow with the cutting in part(next to the wall) you might have to give it 2 coats of paint to cover the old color good.and don’t spill the trim paint,use a drop cloth,on the floor
Go to for a video on how to do this. You can also search for painting trim at and you’ll find many other videos about this. Sometimes I think watching how to do something is better than trying to explain it with words.
