What happens here

Using the loaded angled paint brush, carefully apply paint around the perimeter of the exposed light switch box. Hold the brush with a steady hand, using the angled tip to create a clean, straight line against the edges of the switch mechanism. Paint a small border around the entire opening, ensuring full coverage without getting paint onto the internal components of the switch. The advantage of removing the cover is being able to paint a perfect, uninterrupted edge without needing to mask around it.

What they say

Hide

I always remove switch plates and outlet covers before painting. I don't ever cut around them. So, I remove them.
