Sanjar · Answer

Scrape Paint Off Windows, Instead of Using Tape. Don't bother taping windows when painting sashes—it takes a long time and paint usually ends up on the glass anyway. Go ahead and let paint get on the glass. Once it dries, simply scrape it off with a razor blade

Takes less time to paint onto windows & scrape off after a couple of days drying time.
Also covers gaps better

Jay · Answer

The answer is neither.    Purchase a sash brush and just paint the frame not the glass.    It takes time and patience.    Have a cloth with you.     That’s the right way.

Painting windows requires special preparation and techniques because of their glass and open-and-close operation. To protect the glass, you can use masking tape or a wipe-on protective film that's dispensed much like deodorant. Another option is to skip this step and scrape off any paint from the glass with a razor

Michael · Answer

Good idea to practice cutting in to the best of your ability, then use a Stanley blade scraper to remove any excess, leaving a straight sight line.
Good luck
Tip: Use a short bristle brush, but make sure you. Have enough paint on it so that the paint flows as you move the brush.

Yi · Answer

It’s better use tape before painting if you can’t doing the cut in.
