Step 5 · Paint Application (if stenciling)

Using a paint tray, load your stencil brush or roller with the chosen paint color. Apply the paint over the stencil openings with a light, tapping motion for brushes or gentle rolling for rollers. Ensure even coverage without over-saturating the brush/roller to prevent bleeding. Allow the first coat to dry according to the paint manufacturer's instructions before applying a second coat, if necessary.
