What happens here

After applying the final coat of paint, carefully hang the HVLP spray gun on its stand to prevent it from touching any surfaces. Step back from the freshly painted cabinet door, allowing it to dry undisturbed in the ventilated spray booth. Depending on the type of paint used, the drying time can vary significantly from minutes (for flash-off between coats) to several hours or even overnight for full cure. Once dry to the touch, the cabinet door can be removed from the stand. After all painting is complete, thoroughly clean the HVLP spray gun and hoses according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure longevity and optimal performance for future projects.

Goal: Allow the painted surface to dry and prepare for cleanup of the equipment.
