Techniques For Painting With a Roller
If you nt to paint a room, and you want to do it quickly, efficiently and get the best results possible, then the paint roller is the right tool for you. There are other tools you can use, the paintbrush or the paint sprayer...but, there are pros and cons to using them:
- While brushes are the right choice for edging around ceilings, floors and millwork, they take much longer to cover large wall surfaces and can leave streaks.
- Paint sprayers definitely have the "cool" factor, and they can be fast, but using them requires much more prep work, more clean up time, and they go through a lot of paint (probably more than necessary). Also, if you happen to run out paint while the sprayer is still running, you could end up with globs of paint on your wall.
