Lots of blue tape and patience?
Tape off the whole thing and roll right up to it.
Then get a tiny brush (like they use for kids crafts) to fill in the little space that you have on the wall between the wood pieces of the rack and it'll be covered up by stemware anyway so it probably only needs one coat.

I'm confused. It's a straight line at the bottom of the cabinet where the cabinet ends. You're not trying to paint wall color onto the cabinet back are you?

There is no cabinet back. :-) That is wallboard showing behind the glass and between the slats. The cabinet is open at the bottom. (It just has side panels that extend.)

Thanks for the tip, lenzai. It just seems like that's gonna be really hard to tape.

You could paint the rack with vaseline, then use an artist's brush and your wall paint. The vaseline will keep the wall paint from sticking to the rack.

Although, I don't think taping will really bad that bad. Are all of your cabinets open in the back?

I'd just move the wine glass.

Errant: I like the vaseline tip. No, the other cabinets are not open in the back. It's just this one that has the slats for the stemware rack that is proving so problematic.

lenzai: If I weren't so overwrought from gutting and redoing this kitchen, I would probably like it too. LOL! (Though I'm all for filling that glass and then emptying it ... a few times.) ;-) My nerves are worn just a bit thin.

And I appreciate all the responses! Keep 'em coming.

Then pretend it's the cabinet back and just do the wall color below the line I did. Put a piece of molding and paint it the cabinet color if you need a line of demarcation.

Not a bad idea, live_wire_oak. Thanks for the suggestion.
