"In this clip, we're going to talk about the kinds of switches that you may find in your home. I'm just going to take a minute and talk about the various kinds of switch plates that you might find and switches that you might find in your kitchen or any other room that you're doing.

As you can see we can paint and use our technique on this kind of a switch. You can also use a toggle switch, most of your older homes have toggle switches and the technique works very well on those as well.

You need to make sure that it works properly, because that is your safety factor on this. And we'll talk about this as we're painting this, and we'll show you how to use that technique in there. All the other outlets are just your standard outlet and that's the simplest one to do, and perhaps for your first one you might want to start with that one because there is no safety issues to be involved.
