Paint is applied with a roller by loading the roller with paint, then rolling it onto the surface in sections, and smoothing it out with vertical passes.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Load the Roller: Dip the roller into a paint tray filled with paint, ensuring it's evenly coated but not dripping.
- Apply to the Surface: Roll the paint onto the wall in a "W" or "N" pattern across a manageable section (e.g., 2x2 feet). The initial direction doesn't matter.
- Smooth the Paint: Immediately after applying the paint, smooth it out with consistent, overlapping vertical strokes from top to bottom within that section. This creates a uniform finish and avoids roller marks.
- Repeat: Continue the process, overlapping each new section slightly with the previous one to ensure consistent coverage.
