My owner did a better painting job than my painting sub contractor

I so impress with my owner painting skill and knowledge and i can’t believe that he actually did a better painting job compare to my painter. The painting process is all about preparation. Taking time to patch up the uneven surface and sand down after it dry.

Just to highlight my owner brought a mini hand held sanding machine for sanding and he actually demonstrate to me . Wow! super cool !  it was so easy  and quick. Most of the times my painter just use sand paper rub against the wall few times and that it. this is call sanding down?

I got this DIY painting guide from Nippon paint which attach from Home Decor magazine.
