Why can I see faint bands at the joints?

Under strong raking light, paint sits differently on compound than on board paper. That is a lighting issue rather than workmanship, and the answer is Level 5 on that specific wall — which is a conversation better had at the quote.

Why do the screw lines still show?

Almost always under-coating. Compound shrinks as it dries, so a single pass over a dimple leaves a depression once painted. It needs three thin coats, each slightly wider, sanded between.

Internal corners

Two planes meeting

Internal angles move more than flat joints because two surfaces meet at them, and they are also awkward to coat.

How they are finished

Tape folded and bedded, then each side coated separately rather than trying to do both at once. A corner coated in one pass looks acceptable wet and shows a wandering line once the Rundle Heights room is painted.

Inspecting a finished Level 4

How to check it

Look along the wall with a light rather than at it. Joints should not stand proud, fastener rows should not dimple, corners should run straight and there should be no sanding scratches or paper burn.
