What happens here
The video begins with a cabinet door or drawer front already prepared for painting, showing its lower section masked off with brown paper and green painter's tape. The painter, wearing a black 'Gorilla Grip Trax' glove, positions the workpiece flat on an elevated surface. Using an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) gravity feed spray gun, they apply an initial coat of gray paint to the main flat surface of the piece. The spray gun is moved in smooth, horizontal, overlapping passes, ensuring consistent coverage without any runs or dry spots.
Goal: Lay down the first uniform layer of paint on the primary flat surface of the cabinet piece.
