What Customers Are Saying
The paint guide is a useful tool for painting edges, trim, and baseboards, helping users achieve clean, straight lines without extensive taping. The lightweight, maneuverable metal guide is suitable for large areas, but some found it too flexible or ill-fitting on uneven walls, leading to paint seepage. Overall, the guide is a good option for quick trim work and painting edges, but may not be suitable for all projects, especially on older or textured walls. Users recommend using it with a steady hand and good brush technique for best results.

Would RecommendDoes a good job with keeping trim clean while painting. States it can be used for smoothing wallpaper but I have not had a chance to use it for this.
Painters friend
Would RecommendWorks well for clean edges when you don't want to tape!
Only if you are in a hurry.
Would Not RecommendThis product is decent, has not broke in the 2 weeks of use. If you are in a hurry and only doing touch ups I would say give it a try. Other than that just tape it off. For those who will still give it a try remember bto wipe it off often to reduce paint getting where you don't want it
Plastic Paint Guide
Would RecommendI loved it it was easy to use and made my painting a lot easier.
Better 'n Taping
Would RecommendYou do have to wipe it off pretty regularly, but for straight runs, it's better than worrying that your masking tape will pick up your smooth paint edge.

Don’t Waste Your Money
Would Not RecommendI had hoped this would help in painting around my newly installed windows. Instead, paint siphoned underneath the guide and got on the windows. The end result was a bigger mess than if I had taped or ‘free handed’ the job.
Paint guide
Would RecommendI bought this guide to help me paint the trim moldings in our living room. We have textured walls, and I was afraid that even the best painters' tape wouldn't be enough to prevent mishaps. This guide is a nice size without being so big you can't handle it with one hand.
Very Helpful
Would RecommendThis tool is very helpful when painting baseboards, trim, etc. It may also be useful for edging walls/ceilings assuming both are square. It is not a Plastic Guide as stated. Rather, it is a thin, metal guide with a plastic handle. It is much better than the cheap, all plastic versions that are available elsewhere.
not very effective
Would Not RecommendNo matter how tight I help this against the wall paint still got behind edge. Ended up just throwing it across the room.

When I started to use this I found that the blade is a little warped and allowed a small amount of paint to get through.
