Corwin Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 After i put the tape wire down do i paint over that or do i paint before? And then again i read somthing as while back on how you paint (or should i use primer?) well any ways after you paint/prime then put making tape over top and then paint/prime again so it dosn't showthough the wallpaper? i want to ask before i start my lighting.

Steve_in_PA Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I usually put the wire down first & then primer and paint. I'm sure others do it a different way, so I say "do what works for you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I prime, then place the tapewire, wire-in the fixtures (or place outlets if you're using them), then cover with masking tape & finally paint/paper. This system works for me and I have no problems with the tapewire showing through, but there's no reason you can't prime over the tapewire.

CJEP Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I prime and then put the tape in and then paint or wallpaper. Then I guess and feel for the wires to put the fixtures in. Charlene's method is probably easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggi Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I primed my house then put the tapewire in (take pictures after putting in the tapewire--saves time finding it when you want to plug in something or troubleshoot) I didn't put masking tape over my wire, but I used wallpaper over it and have had no problems.
