What happens here
Once the sprayer is set up and the area is masked, begin applying paint to the door. Maintain a consistent distance from the door surface, typically 8-12 inches, and move the spray gun in smooth, even passes. The video demonstrates using both horizontal and vertical strokes to ensure full coverage. Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to prevent streaking and ensure uniform thickness. Keep the gun moving continuously while the trigger is pressed; avoid stopping in one spot, which can lead to drips and runs. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat, allowing adequate drying time between coats according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations. The goal is to achieve a consistent, smooth finish without drips or uneven texture.
Goal: Apply an even and smooth coat of paint to the door
