[quote=Anonymous]Switch plates, outlet covers, and vent covers should be removed before painting, and put back after the paint dries. (Seriously, this is not hard or time consuming.) You might find it looks better to just replace all the plates and vent covers with new ones if they're looking shabby. It's okay if the plates are white to match the trim, even if the wall color is different. Or maybe you want something fancier. There's a ton of choices. A vent cover can be painted to match the wall, but it should be glossy paint so you don't have a lot of dust sticking to a matte finish.[/quote]
