Cover the fixtures with tape. **Plan To Prime:** Most painting projects will take three coats – one coat of primer and two coats of paint.  Always plan on using primer on patched and unpainted surfaces as raw surfaces will absorb too much paint. With this preparation in place, you are ready to begin transforming your space! ## Explore Related Posts [![Home Habits to Leave Behind in 2025](https://homecareincremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/12_26-main-blog-photo.jpg?width=500&height=500&name=12_26-main-blog-photo.jpg) December 25, 2025 Home Habits to Leave Behind in 2025 As the holiday glow fades and a new year awaits, it’s only natural to reflect on what’s working in our homes and what’s holding us back.
