Depending on sheen and visibility, a local correction may flash. I typically recoat from natural break to natural break to obtain a uniform appearance. Allow proper drying and inspect again before accepting the repair.
Look for missed areas or holidays, uneven coverage, roller marks, patch outlines, and differences in sheen or flashing. Inspect the final dried coat under the work light and the room's normal lighting, from more than one angle.
Field practiceI spot-coat the repair, then recoat the entire door to avoid flashing.
Inspect again after drying for coverage, flashing, and other remaining defects before accepting the work.
