What happens here
The video demonstrates the application of a high-gloss coating to a cabinet side using a spray gun. The cabinet is positioned on wooden pallets, which are covered with a white drop cloth to protect the work surface and allow for overspray. The person operating the spray gun wears protective gloves and maintains a consistent distance and speed while moving the spray gun horizontally across the cabinet surface. Each pass slightly overlaps the previous one to ensure uniform coverage and build up a smooth, highly reflective finish, aiming for a mirror-like effect. The current surface already shows significant reflection, suggesting this might be a subsequent coat or a very high-gloss paint over a prepared substrate.
Goal: Apply a uniform, high-gloss coating to the cabinet surface for a mirror-like finish.
