How do I paint the walls of a stairway that go all the way down to carpet on the stairs? Can this be done without removing the carpet and still get low enough that a line is not noticeable or the carpet isn't covered in paint when I'm done?

I use a 12 inch mudding knife as a sheild between the carpet and the wall. inset the knife and use it to push the carpet away from the wall and apply the paint. it is necesary to be careful not to get paint on the carpet when removing the knife.
