Lights Before/after Painting?

Featured Replies

during your reno. works, do you install the lights before or after painting? common sense tells me after, so that the lights wont get in the way/dirty but my id insists on installing the lights first before painting. because we're not using his electrician, i think he's still a little sore abt that, so i don't know if he's just trying to make things difficult to drive home the point. :S

i got Nippon Professional Painters and they took great care with my lights. even if they dirty it accidentally, they will clean it off. so your painters should do the same for you.

In case they accidentally (can't be avoided) paint over your lamps as well..
