What happens here

Once the roller is fully loaded with primer, apply it to the central part of the unfinished section of the wall. From this central point, extend your rolling motion upwards towards the ceiling and then downwards towards the baseboard. This technique ensures that the paint is initially applied where it's most needed and then spread out evenly across the entire surface. This method minimizes the chances of leaving 'light spots' (areas with insufficient paint coverage) and helps achieve a uniform, professional-looking primer coat. Despite claims of 'one-coat paint,' most paints, especially those with high tint, will require at least two coats for full, opaque coverage, as evidenced by visible white speckles on the green primed wall.

Goal: For the final application, load the roller heavily, apply paint to the middle of the section, and then extend it both upwards and downwards to evenly distribute the paint and prevent light spots.
