What happens here
Using an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun, apply a uniform coat of primer to all exterior surfaces of the dresser cabinet. Ensure proper ventilation in your workspace. Hold the spray gun at a consistent distance and move it in even, overlapping passes to avoid drips and ensure complete coverage. Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the cabinet was previously painted or heavily damaged, a second coat of primer may be beneficial.
Goal: Provide a base coat for paint adhesion and color uniformity.
