Time to paint a pool again! #poolpaint #pools #poolcolors #pooltime

What happens here

The painter shifts to using a small paintbrush to meticulously apply the blue pool paint along the intricate edges where the pool surface meets the deck, as well as around the contours of the steps. This 'cutting-in' technique ensures clean, sharp lines and thorough coverage in areas where a roller would be impractical. He is wearing gloves to protect his hands from the paint.

Goal: Achieve clean, sharp paint lines along all edges, steps, and curves.
