What happens here

Inspect the slide for any existing hard water stains, iron stains, or rough areas. These imperfections need to be addressed before painting. Using sanding sponges or sanding blocks, lightly scuff off the entire surface of the slide. This process creates a texture that the new paint can adhere to, and helps to smooth out any rough patches or minor blemishes. The goal is not to remove all existing paint, but to create a uniform, slightly abraded surface.

Goal: Prepare the slide surface by cleaning and abrading it for optimal paint adhesion.
