How to Use a Paint Roller Without Making Marks or Streaks
Painting a wall can be a great way to add personality and refresh the look of your home. But often, when painting with a roller, it can be difficult to avoid making streaks or marks on the painted surface. Fortunately, with a few simple tips, you can learn how to use a paint roller without making marks or streaks.
Steps:
- Prepare the roller tray and use the right roller. Before you start painting, fill your roller tray and use a roller that is the right size for the surface you intend to paint.
- Use the right amount of paint. Avoid adding too much paint to your roller, and make sure to evenly spread the paint out with your brush.
- Roll the paint on in a criss-cross pattern. Begin by applying paint in a criss-cross pattern, rolling top to bottom and side to side. Apply enough pressure to ensure the paint is being applied smoothly and evenly.
- Reduce the pressure and roll in one smooth motion. After you have filled the wall with the criss-cross pattern, reduce the amount of pressure on the roller and roll it up and down in one smooth motion to even out any streaks or marks.
- Keep a wet edge to avoid lap marks. As you move from one section of the wall to the next, overlap the edges of the two sections to ensure a wet edge, which will create a seamless transition between the two sections and prevent lap marks.
- Wait for the paint to dry and touch up any mistakes. Once your painting project is complete, wait for the paint to dry before adding any touch-ups or corrections.
