Below we provide some important information that can help you paint walls efficiently using roller brushes.
Roller Advice
It is important to use a roller cover that matches your specific application. For textured or rough wall surfaces, you may want to use a nap size of 1/2 to 3/4 inch. For a flat and low sheen-paints and medium textured surfaces, a 3/8 to 1/2 inch medium nap is advisable. Finally, for glossy paint and smooth surfaces, a 1/4 to 3/8 inch thin nap is the best option.
Place the roller cover in your paint tray and roll it until full coverage is achieved. Then, remove excess paint by rolling the roller cover over the upper, ridged portion of the tray. Start applying the roller cover to a wall in a corner of the room in order to blend the new paint with the already painted border. Apply in a “W” or “M” shape as you roll in order to prevent unattractive streaks. Fill in the blank areas from left to right until all untouched spaces are painted.
Other Suggestions for Using Paint Brushes and Rollers
Using an edging brush lightly covered in paint, proceed to smooth any remaining dots and specs on the wall. Paint at all times in the same direction to avoid the appearance of vertical and horizontal painting marks intersecting.
Choose paint brushes and roller covers made from high quality materials to ensure a professional appearance is left behind without small bristles remaining attached to the paint. A roller cover and paint brush of lower quality also will likely fail to provide sufficient coverage. In addition, if your painting job involves painting the ceiling, always start there first.
