Extensive hand scraping.
Hand scraping is essential for a flawless paint job for several reasons.
Firstly, it helps to remove any loose or peeling paint from the surface, ensuring that the new paint adheres well and provides a smooth and uniform finish.

Secondly, by removing the old paint, hand scraping allows for the identification and repair of any underlying damage or imperfections on the surface, such as cracks or dents, which may affect the final appearance of the paint job.

Thirdly, hand scraping helps to create a clean and even surface, minimizing the appearance of brush or roller marks that can occur if new paint is simply applied over old, uneven paint.
​​​​​​​
Lastly, hand scraping provides an opportunity to prepare and prime the surface properly, allowing the new paint to bond securely and increasing its durability and longevity. Overall, hand scraping is an essential step in achieving a flawless paint job by ensuring proper surface preparation, repair of any underlying damage, and a smooth and uniform finish.
