What happens here

Using a high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) spray gun, apply the first thin, even coat of paint to all exterior surfaces of the dresser. Hold the spray gun at a consistent distance (typically 6-8 inches) from the surface and use smooth, overlapping passes. Avoid applying too much paint in one go to prevent drips and runs. The first coat does not need to achieve full opacity; its purpose is to provide a uniform base.

Goal: Apply a thin, even base coat of paint
