What happens here

The presenter explains the strategy of applying a first coat of paint to all corner boards and about 6 to 12 inches from the bottom of the house using a roller. This pre-coating is done about 15 minutes ahead of the spray painter to allow the paint to set, as these areas (corner boards, lower parts of the house) are most susceptible to weather damage from splashing water and runoff. This technique is referred to as 'back-rolling'.

Goal: Apply an initial coat of paint to trim and corner boards.
