What happens here

After all repairs (sanding and/or Bondo) are complete and the area is smooth, the final step is to re-spray the entire section. For trim, it's essential to mask off the entire section that needs to be repainted to avoid dry feathered edges. Use an airless sprayer with an older tip (e.g., a 310 tip) to achieve a slight stipple effect that blends with the surrounding texture. Apply one coat, let it dry, and then apply a second coat if needed, ensuring full coverage and a consistent finish. Once dry, carefully remove all masking materials and re-mount any hardware.

Goal: Achieve a seamless and consistent final paint finish.

Tools and materials

  • Airless Sprayer N/A — Applying the final paint coats
  • Masking Paper N/A — Protecting surrounding areas during spraying
