What happens here

After the main siding is painted, attention turns to the details. This involves masking doors and windows, and spray painting them. New shutters are painted and then re-installed by drilling holes for the shutter buttons. Fascia and trim are also painted, often by hand or with a smaller roller, to provide contrast and a finished look. An Adirondack chair is also spray painted white to match the front trim, completing the coordinated exterior aesthetic.

Goal: Apply paint to all detailed areas, including doors, shutters, trim, and outdoor accessories.
