What happens here
Using an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun, apply the first coat of paint to the dresser. Ensure even coverage across all exposed surfaces. Maintain a consistent distance and speed while spraying to avoid drips or uneven patches. The first coat acts as a primer and initial color layer. Allow adequate drying time as per the paint manufacturer's instructions before proceeding.
Goal: Apply an even first coat of paint/primer
