A long time ago, someone asked this question and there was a response,
which I forgot. It involved tape, multiple coats, but resulted in a
perfect straight line. Anyone remember?
Thanks.

tape .......... pull tape with paint wet .............

Paint one wall slopping over a bit to adjacent. Let dry, tape that
wall, paint over the taped edge to adjacent wall with same paint and
let dry to seal edge. Paint second wall, remove tape.

As stated, to seal the edge. Otherwise the second paint color will
wick under to the first color wall.
