You Don’t Cover Or Protect Fixtures
Although dried paint can usually be removed from certain fixtures like door knobs and lighting fixtures, you are much better off protecting them before beginning your painting project. You can either remove them entirely or conceal them to prevent any messes.
You Soak Your Paint Brushes In Paint Before Applying Them
