When it comes to achieving a professional finish with epoxy floor paint, the roller you choose is just as important as the paint itself. Epoxy paint is thicker and stickier than regular paint, requiring a specific type of roller for optimal application.
Shed-Resistant Rollers
A shed-resistant woven roller with a 3/8-inch or 1/4-inch nap is generally considered the best roller for epoxy paint. These rollers can properly absorb the epoxy and hold onto it long enough to allow for a smooth, even application.
Shed-Resistant Foam Rollers
Shed-resistant foam paint rollers are another viable option, especially for those DIY enthusiasts. They offer an advantage in their ability to prevent lint and debris from contaminating the paint. Some models come with an ergonomic handle or extension pole, making the painting process more comfortable and efficient.
Looped Textured Rollers
If you are applying aggregate epoxy, a looped textured roller may be ideal. These rollers are perfect for urethane cements and coatings containing sand or aggregate due to their ability to evenly distribute the paint over the surface.
