What happens here

After completing the top section with the downward fading stroke, move to the bottom portion of the same tight wall section. Load the angled roller with paint. Depending on the space, you might need to remove the extension pole for better control. Apply paint with an upward stroke, and as you move towards the middle where the previous 'faded' section ended, gently pull the roller away from the wall to feather the paint upwards. The goal is to blend this upward-faded edge seamlessly with the downward-faded edge from the top section, avoiding any heavy overlap or distinct lines. The video mentions this is for the first coat, suggesting that perfecting this blending is crucial for subsequent coats.

Goal: Roll paint upwards from the bottom of the wall section, fading it out to seamlessly meet the top section's feathered edge.
