I only use lambswool rollers. They provide the best finish hands down. You can use 1/2 lambswool and the finish is better than a standard 3/8” cover. They hold twice as much paint as a 1/2” no wool roller cover and they take 1/2 of the time to clean. Microfiber is great but lambswool is better and if you can get your hands on a 3/8” lambswool that is the best, smoothest finish you will get and they last way, way longer than microfiber There is a reason why they are 3x the cost.

Yes the 1/4 is less drippy but it also needs to be dipped more often and potentially does not cover as well. It comes down to personal preference.

Sanded older surfaces with with mechanical sander w/120, then 220. Fortunately it was a small bathroom and needed a lot of patience but the effort was worth it. Primed with 1/4 nap, 2 coats. Forgot to mention I tried to skim coat with topcoat mud but was very difficult due to the plaster wall having an uneven surface. Most of the sanded mud ended up on the floor.

I already used the foam roller for 1st coat using glossy latex paint but don't know if i shpuld switch to microfiber. It doesn't look glossy the way i imagined even though its the 1st coat and hasn't dried yet. But still.. ughh i should've done more research before i started this project. I know!

@arc.handyman1905 Жыл бұрын
So far I've never had luck with foam as well. I believe you need to do very thin coats with them and they're better with oil based paints I believe. Go with a 1/4" next time. There's also velour and mohair, although those are not often used on walls. In addition, use a paint that levels out nicely. Or you can add a paint thinner but that does make it more difficult to apply because the paint looses some of its hang quality and you are more susceptible to drips. Lastly, don't overwork the paint. Hope everything worked out.

Piece of advice, its NOT worth "washing" and reusing rollers Whether the cheap or the more expensive rollers, if you're painting anyones but your own house. Or if you really care about the quality of the paint job, an final result. You're better off buying a plastic roller preserver container or just wrapping the roller up in plastic ( plastic bag etc ), with maybe a small damp rag and/or paper towel. Which if wrapped well or with a little damp towelette, can stay good an entire week. An easily until an entire paint job is completed. Small or big rollers, especially if you're "using it" every other day or so and rewrapping it well with fresh paint. Although DON'T wrap it up while it's drenched with paint, wrap it up "after you use" and apply whatever paint has been soaked into it.

What paint roller can you paint a vehicle with without no orange peel, lint free and no streaks. I used a foam roller before but it wasn't lint free but didn't end up painting my vehicle with it. I saw a video of someone using a brush on KZfaq too painting a vehicle it turned out good but never saw a product using a roller on a vehicle that doesn't have any orange peel when you painting with the roller and paint only without using mineral spirits or other stuff to thin the paint. I am getting a turbine sprayer soon to use for when I paint a vehicle but one day would wanna have a bigger air compressor for using sanders and other tools that need more air when using on a air compressor. Have 26 gallon air compressor and the air goes away fast that is a reason I purchased a turbine sprayer because need more air without getting a air compressor for painting a vehicle it should be coming in next week or two.

I’m watching this cuz i just primed my bedroom but it looks like shit, even after 2 coats. The plastering work i did is still showing threw. Even tho i sanded it well. So i thought I’d watch a video about rollers to see if thats the problem. Looks like ill need to pick up thicker rollers to do the final coat. Especially for my ceiling that has texture. What im using now looks like the roller at 7:08 which i thought would have done a better job. Maybe its the actual primer i bought 🤷🏻. I’m just praying the final coat looks a hell of a lot better then this primer
