Apply Final Paint Coats

Furniture makeover using AquaCoat, Ekasand, PaintLine, & Apollo Precision-5 HVLP sprayers.
What happens here
After thoroughly sanding the grain filler and cleaning the surface from all dust and debris, the furniture is prepared for its final paint coats. While the actual painting process is not explicitly shown in the video, it displays multiple finished pieces of furniture (in grey, dark grey/blue, and dark blue) that demonstrate a perfectly smooth, grain-free painted finish. This final step typically involves applying a suitable primer (if necessary for adhesion and hiding previous colors), followed by multiple coats of the desired paint, allowing adequate drying time between each coat. A clear topcoat might also be applied for enhanced durability and desired sheen.
Goal: Apply decorative and protective paint layers to the furniture.
