Answers:
Buy a paint edger. Lowes has them for $3.00
Two different models. One connects to those wood poles and the other has a handle on it.
you could use masking tape or that blue painters tape, they also make brushes from edges and stuff. you could try that
Go to Home Depot and buy the Blue tape
Place it around the edges and where you don't want a certain color and you will have no problem.
Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Get some fairly wide masking tape and place one long strip of it from the floor to the ceiling and against the corner on the side of the wall you don't want to paint. Tape sheets of newspaper onto the strip to avoid splatter but make sure you still have a straight line against the corner. Paint away, when it dries remove all masking tape. Do not leave the masking in place for longer than something like 6 hours or it will leave sticky marks that are hard to get rid of. Also, try and find a paint roller specifically designed for doing corners.
Don't need to use tape. Just go to the paint store and purchase a 2 inch angled brush of good quality. You may have to spend $10+ and it will make all the difference. Then shine a good light into the corner that you are working on. Also you can put a paint additive in your paint that will make it easier to work with. When you get a good quality brush you may even enjoy painting.
You need to buy painters tape. You tape off the wall. Use a brush if you have to and paint the edge. After painting, peel off the tape and you'll have a perfect line. It's work but it's worth it. They say the prep work is everything to do a good job. Good luck!
I would just buy a good quality brush and if your hand is steady you should have no problem
