What happens here

Now, it's time to paint. Using a small paint roller, carefully apply your chosen paint color (e.g., light gray, as shown) to every other square, creating the checkerboard pattern. For squares near the top or in tighter areas, use a paint brush to ensure full coverage and precise application without accidentally painting over the tape. Apply an even coat, and if necessary, allow the first coat to dry before applying a second coat for full opacity and vibrant color.

Goal: Apply paint to create the checkerboard pattern
