Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?
Question:I've found that cheap bruhes work better than the Purdy because the roughness separates the bristles. That's why I was considering a paint sprayer because I have spent a lot on different brushes and rollers. I'm using a lot more paint trying to get coverage in all of the dimpled areas also. Would love advice on how to tackle my painting project!
Answers:
Get a roller with a 3/4 inch nap, or a lambs wool roller. You might still need to dab some paint in the deeper dimples, but these should do the job.
Lowes sells rollers to use on rough surfaces. I wouldn't use a paint sprayer, unless you're painting outside.
a Three Quarter inch roller and a brush
There is a roller for these types of walls. and painting it is no diff than any other wall. I do use more coats for my own peace of mind,these types just take more patience.
There is a foam cover that is slit about every 1/2 inch. It works great on really rough surfaces. Lowe's and Orchard Supply Warehouse have them.That would be a lot faster than a brush and better coverage than a 3/4 inch regular cover.
