Intermediate Inspection, Repair, and Sanding (After Seal Coat)

Painting Wood Cabinet Doors with an Airless Sprayer. Getting A Professional Glossy Finish!
What happens here
Once the first coat (seal coat) has dried, perform another detailed inspection of each door. Use the inspection light to check for any missed imperfections or flaws that became visible after the first coat. For any small nicks or pinholes, apply a tiny amount of Bondo filler using an applicator. After the Bondo dries, lightly sand the repaired spots and the entire sealed surface with a super-fine sanding sponge (e.g., Ekasilk) to achieve maximum smoothness and adhesion for the next coat. This helps smooth out any raised wood grain or minor texture from the first coat.
Goal: Refine the surface after the first coat, addressing any remaining flaws and preparing for the final coat.
