Is this the RIGHT or the WRONG way to paint? 🚫✅ #painter #howto #thoughts #ideas #toolsinaction

What happens here

The video starts by demonstrating a common, incorrect method of painting around a light switch. The person uses a paintbrush to 'cut in' around the edges of the light switch cover, and then uses a mini roller to paint the surrounding wall, painting directly over the existing light switch cover. This shows how paint can accumulate on the cover, leading to a messy finish.

Goal: Illustrate the consequences of painting over electrical covers.
