What happens here
After the second coat has completely dried, perform another very light sanding. This time, use ultra-fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 400-600 grit) or a fine sanding sponge. This final sanding step is meant to achieve an incredibly smooth, silky finish, preparing the surface for the last coat of paint. Gently rub the entire surface, then thoroughly clean off all remaining dust with a tack cloth or vacuum.
Goal: Achieve an ultra-smooth surface for the final paint coat
