Masking is a great way to paint adjacent surfaces, like where door or window trim of one color meets wallboard of another. Mask the trim and you can paint the wallboard right up to the edge of the trim. Reverse the process and you can paint the trim to within a whisker of the wallboard. When you're finished, carefully remove the tape and presto! A perfect paint job.
