Final Inspection and Prepare for Drying

Spray Like a Pro: Garage Door Finish That Wows the Neighborhood
What happens here
After applying the first coat, visually inspect the garage door for complete and even coverage while the paint is still wet and 'soft'. The instructor notes that the paint is 'gelled out' and fully covered. He advises watching the paint's application and listening to the sprayer's function to ensure proper performance. To prepare for drying and potential touch-ups, raise the garage door just enough so it does not touch the bottom weatherstrip. Submerge the spray gun in water to keep the paint fresh and prevent clogging, avoiding a full pump cleaning in case a second coat or touch-up is needed.
Goal: Ensure complete paint coverage and preserve spraying equipment for potential follow-up work.
