Author Finishing bullnose corners on walls with Spanish knife texture

We are currently building our home and the sheetrock guys have just
finish up. I was wondering if it is typical for the vinyl bullnose to
remain exposed (no mud on them except to blend the edges into the
wall)? Since we have a skip trowel/Spanish knife finish, should this
be carried out on top of the bullnose edge trim? Thanks so much for
your input.

No Denise the bullnose remaines clean. The mud would just chip off
everytime you touched it otherwise. Have done many miles of bullnose...LOL

Ben, thanks so much for your reply. I assume that the bullnose should
have been sanded or wiped down to remove all residue? Currently, there
is dried mud splattered on it... and the drywall guys claim they are
finished with the project.

They can claim they're done all they want but they ARE NOT DONE, the
bullnose should have all mud sanded or wet spounged off completely.If they
didn't do it, get their butts back there to finish sanding.If they left that
I bet they skipped other stuff as well. Look everything else over too BEFORE
you pay them.... Ask your painter or contractor to check it out as well.
