Painting tiles with a roller requires careful technique to ensure even coverage and avoid runs. Here's how to do it effectively:
- Load the Roller: Saturate the roller with paint, but avoid over-loading. Too much paint will lead to drips and an uneven finish.
- Apply Evenly: Roll the paint onto the tiles, working it in and spreading it out as far as possible. Avoid applying too much paint in one area.
- Avoid Thick Coats: Glossy tile paint can run if applied too thickly. Apply thin, even coats for best results.
- Keep Moving: Keep the roller moving to prevent build-up in any one spot.
In essence, load the roller, work the paint into the tiles, and avoid thick coats to prevent runs.
