Painting Tip Needed - How to paint a straight line!

Ahh, now I see.
That does make things a bit more difficult. To avoid this problem, I do the insides first and then put it together. Here is a pic of my latest cabinet:
In your case, I don't have a suggestion except for to stick with the tape and do the best job you can if you cannot pull the side off to repaint it.

I suppose it's too late, but in case anybody else is interested in a possible solution to painting an inside corner like that, this is what I've used in the past. I used to paint apartments in a building I was living in, we used these pads all the time to cut in corners and they work great, you just have to be sure to keep the wheels and edge of the pad from getting paint on them.
I am not necessarily recommending the seller, it was just the first site I found with the product I was looking for. I think that both Lowes and Home Depot carry these as well.

I've tried those in the past and had no luck. Quite possibly user-error, though...
javeryh - how long had you let the black paint dry/cure? It shouldn't have ripped up like that, especially with low or med adhesion painters tape...
ChadTower:
I have tried them with zero results, too.

The black paint dried for over 24 hours (I put the last coat of black on Saturday afternoon). I'm not sure what happened but I agree it would have been a good idea to paint prior to assembly - I'll keep that in mind for the next one.
I'm going to paint that strip pink tonight when I add another coat to the back panel and continue to add layers of pink paint. Once I'm done, if I don't like how it looks, I'll try painting it black again but I'll cross that bridge this weekend I guess.
