The filled areas are sandedSandingSmoothing a surface with sandpaper or a power sander to remove bumps, loose old paint or gloss, so the new paint or varnish grips well and comes out smooth. so they won’t show through the paint.

5. Around the cabinets

The surfaces around and behind the cabinets are prepared too, so the paint reaches everywhere.
