What happens here

Using a ladder, begin applying the first coat of paint to the metal drip edge and fascia with the Wooster jumbo roller. Exercise caution to avoid applying excessive pressure, which could cause paint to seep onto the shingles. Tilt the roller slightly away from the roof shingles as you roll to ensure clean lines and prevent paint transfer. The goal of this initial coat is to achieve even coverage over the existing dark bronze metal work and fascia, preparing it for subsequent coats and brushwork.

Goal: Apply an even first coat of paint to the metal drip edge and fascia, taking care to avoid the shingles.
