What happens here
After the initial paint coat has dried, inspect the wall for any imperfections, bumps, or uneven textures. Use a handheld sanding tool, such as a random orbital sander, to lightly sand these areas. The goal is to smooth out any raised paint, dust nibs, or minor surface defects to prepare for the subsequent paint layers, ensuring a perfectly smooth finish. Remember to clean off any sanding dust before painting again.
Goal: Smooth out any imperfections on the painted wall surface.
