Painters tape is very important for a variety of reasons. The reason you use painters tape is to keep paint off whatever you are painting around.

• 1st it keeps paint splatter and sprinkle off your baseboards

• 2nd it helps you paint a straight line with your paintbrush or roller.
• 3rd it allows you to paint between taped parts that you could not normally paint without getting paint on one or all the parts such as between a light switch cover and a thermostat cover which in some cases you cannot remove one of the other.

• 4th painters tape can also be used for doing wall graphics such as vertical or horizontal bars or stripes.
