    Hi,
    Does anyone know where I can get a paint pad for painting wall edges.
    Something like this - http://www.shopireland.ie/home/B0001MQI9E/

    Don't believe the spin, they don't actually work. You can get a better edge with a brush,.

    True
    If they were any use at all, every painter in the country would be using them .... I've never seen one used.

    My brush edging is not great. Especially when different colour walls. Should I use masking tape? Worried that it will remove paint though.

    You can get low-tack masking tape, it sticks less firmly to the wall and shouldn't remove paint when removed. Always wise to pull off the masking tape soon after painting, the longer it's on the wall the more likely it is to do damage.
    Get a good cutting-in brush to do the edges, it really does make it a lot easier.

    I use a straight piece of solid card, hold it in place, move it as I go, stops getting any stray paint where i dont want it
