What happens here

Once the sanding is complete and the surface is deemed smooth, prepare the area for re-spraying. This involves carefully masking off a logical section of the trim to ensure a clean line and prevent overspray onto adjacent surfaces. The presenter highlights the importance of re-spraying an entire section rather than just the spot that was sanded. Spot-spraying will result in a visible 'dry feathered edge' around the repaired area. By masking and re-spraying a natural break or entire face of the trim, a seamless, uniform finish can be achieved. For areas with existing paint, apply a first coat to the sanded area and let it dry before applying a final full coat to the masked section.

What they say

Hide

So, now that we got it all sanded off, you can see how it's masked off. You got to uh determine a section where you can mask off a whole section and respray a whole section cuz you can't just spray just the spot you sanded cuz it'll leave a dry feathered edge around that spot where you're spraying. So, we found a nice logical place where we can mask it off. And so, we're going to shoot this whole face of this column. But, I'm going to shoot one shot right across where our touch-up is first. We're going to let that dry and then re-shoot the whole face because the first shot's going to fill in those areas where we actually sanded and hopefully it smooths out those ridges. Ready? First coat on
