What they say

Hide

I have excessive spraying on both sides. One thing, you know? They are exterior paints. Some will say they are exterior paints with an eggshell finish, when you paint them they appear to have an eggshell finish and then they dry and level out over time. Exterior paints don't give you a finish, a vitreous finish like interior enamels. They behave and are applied differently. a color like this thick, with a lot of dye to create this color. The paint doesn't atomize well with light colors, so you won't get a super smooth finish, but it will level out very, very well. I look at it and it seems to be covered, you know? 100%. If you think it needs two coats, one or two, you can give it another coat after it dries. It will take about an hour to dry. Give it another pass, then remove the tape and you're done. It's 100% covered. It looks pretty good to me . I have a uniform and pleasant finish across the entire surface. When I look right here on the entire door, I look for something that doesn't match, that has the same finish all over the door. Or there's something that feels light, like a kind of dry feather, because I went too fast, right? I did not overlap by 50%. I looked at it, I can't see it with this lighting. I have to switch to this lighting to really see it because I get a reflection and a glare that comes through the window.
