What happens here

Before applying any coating, ensure the pool is completely drained. The area immediately surrounding the recessed pool light fixture must be thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of any debris, loose paint, or residue. If necessary, lightly sand any rough edges or old coating near the fixture to create a smooth surface for the new application. Use painter's tape to carefully mask off the light fixture's lens or trim if these components are not intended to be coated, ensuring precise and clean lines for the new finish.

Goal: Ensure a clean, dry, and masked surface around the light for coating application.
