If using standard paint, apply a coat of primer evenly with a small roller. Once the primer is dry, apply your chosen paint using a small foam roller for smooth, even coats. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Apply at least two coats for full coverage and a durable finish.

Goal: Apply a coat of primer (optional, depending on paint choice) followed by two or more coats of paint to achieve a smooth, durable finish. Rollers are recommended for even coverage.
