How Do You Use a Paint Roller Shield?

Published in Painting Tips 1 min read

A paint roller shield prevents paint splatter and drips while you're painting. Here's how to use one effectively:

  • Loading Paint: The translucent shield allows you to see the roller while loading paint, helping to avoid over-saturation and drips.

  • Painting: As you paint, the shield deflects splatters and drips, keeping paint off unwanted surfaces. For ceilings, rotate the shield until it is fully under the roller to maximize protection from drips.

  • Interchangeability: The shields can typically be switched out to suit different jobs and painting conditions.
