Right roller technique guides the best paint finish
Right roller choice and technique produce superior results. Short nap for smooth surfaces like plaster and metal, longer nap for rough brick or masonry. Saturate roller fully, start upward on walls, away from you on ceilings, avoid pressing or spinning at stroke ends, and re-dip as needed. Use 7 to 9 inch rollers, 12 or 14 inch for large flat surfaces, edge with edging roller or brush, complete each wall or ceiling in one pass to avoid lap marks.
