Apply Final Top Coat

What happens here

Apply the final top coat of water-based PU to the cabinet doors using the airless sprayer. This is done in two stages: first, paint the backs of the doors, allowing them to dry. Then, apply the top coat to the fronts. When spraying the fronts, use a straight up-and-down spray pattern, especially around the recessed panels, to avoid excessive paint buildup (gap bridging) in the corners and edges, which can compromise the factory-like appearance.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, factory-like finish on both sides of the doors.
