This comprehensive guide outlines the process of painting a wall with a roller, from preparing the surface to applying the final coat of paint. It provides tips and tricks to ensure a successful project. Painting with a roller is the quickest way to apply a fresh coat of paint, 10 times faster than using an emulsion brush, and eliminates unwanted brush marks. To achieve a fast, flawless finish, start with BEHR® paint that has been stirred.
- Grab your tools.
- Pour the paint into the tray.
- Dip the roller into the paint.
- Roll a “W” on the wall with the roller, filling empty spaces in a top-to-bottom motion.
- Once the wall is completely painted, apply a second coat for even better coverage.
Before starting, ensure that you have all the hard stuff done. Spread the roller until it’s dry and push almost through the Sheetrock.
When painting a wall, roll up and down from floor to ceiling and move over about three-quarters of a roller width each time. This will ensure that you are always covering the entire wall.
In summary, painting with a roller is an efficient and quick method for applying paint to large areas like walls. Start with BEHR® paint that has been stirred to prevent any settled colors. Use quality painting tools and follow the instructions provided by your paint can for drying times and applying a second coat as needed.

📹 How Can I Paint This Room FAST. Sprayer Vs. Roller
We are into week four of our major bathroom renovation. Now that the crew has finished up the new drywall, it’s time for me to …
Painting over wallpaper sure is a lot easier than tearing it all down and skim coating it. Sometimes the customer doesn’t seem to understand how much goes into tearing off paper and completely redoing the wall to the point where it looks good. We put it in the bid that the time and cost will be conditional on how bad of shape the walls are in. We just did a dental office and the job took like a month longer tearing off the paper than if we just painted it. It was a huge pain in the butt having to work around their dental equipment
I just use this on a ceiling last week, way too heavy, my crew try it for 3 mins and give up, i finish 2 ceilings with this roller. Decide to sell the roller and the Titan 440 which I brought last year. I spend 30+ hours to learn how to use sprayer,doesn’t work out for me. Too many limitations to use in a residential project
Tried this few new construction jobs. Compared it with 18″ rollers. This was much faster and easier. Specially on new drywall where using a lot of material. You can set up your sprayer on 1st floor and paint with this on 5th floor, no 5 gallon buckets to carry. The only problem is it doesn’t have microfiber rollers. One coat of primer and two coats of finish even the 3/8 leaves a big texture on smooth walls.
As a former painter can I make a suggestion. Use an eighteen inch roller, the improvement in quality and the time savings add up. Start by getting your eighteen inch roller wet with paint. Start midway between the floor and ceiling. Than go up and down four times and reapply pain to the roller. For the next strip you want to overlap the roller about three inches from the previously painted section, start in the middle of the wall and go up and down four times. Rinse and repeat. You will power through a room in half the time and you will not see a single roller mark on your completed wall when the paint dries.
