What happens here

Begin by carefully applying paint with an angled brush around permanent wall fixtures such as thermostats and electrical switches. This technique, known as 'cutting in,' creates a clean, precise border, preventing paint from getting on the fixture itself. The video shows the painter meticulously working around a thermostat, covering the peach-colored wall with a sage green paint.

Goal: Achieve clean paint lines around fixtures
