Hot take: My dad said 'a bad paint job is just a good first coat' after I ruined a door
I was trying to repaint my front door in Portland last weekend and it got all drippy and streaky. I was ready to strip it and start over, which felt like a huge waste. My dad called and I told him, and he just said that line about it being a good first coat. He meant I should just sand it smooth and do a second coat instead of freaking out. It hit different because I was about to make a 2 hour job into a 6 hour nightmare. Has anyone else saved a project by just doing a proper second layer instead of starting from zero?

My mom's whole cooking philosophy is that most mistakes just need another layer of cheese or sauce to fix them.
