Paint roller use covered in previous posted Paint Studies reinforces data in the original posting. 99%of my painting is by roller. I’ll have to look into these new teflon type rollers have not seen them before. Thank you for the lead.

I have three different sizes of rollers. The smallest is probably 1.5 cm, and the largest is probably about 3 to 4 cm. I think this will allow me to paint my work faster and more precisely. If there are details, I’ll have to use a brush to paint around them.

Hahaha I also need another toolbox to store everything :sweat_smile: Luckily, you have a mother who can help you. I think these rolls are made in the Netherlands.

This roller is perfect for large surfaces. Unfortunately, I didn’t have it yet when I started making the pinball.

Your welcome :hugs: I’ve used paint rollers before, but they were much larger and sucked up the paint, resulting in more wasted paint. I then had to thin the acrylic paint a bit to spread it properly. With this roller, that’s not necessary, and I also need significantly less paint. The paint doesn’t stick to them, and they’re very quick to clean.

Diffrent sized rollers is a great idea omg!! it’ll cut your work for you by loads!!

Oh gosh Liset this is amazing! :pink_heart: Thanks for sharing and making me open my wallet again! :face_holding_back_tears:

I had tried using rollers to paint before but I hated them, but I think it’s because I had foam rollers and they absorbed a lot of paint. :see_no_evil_monkey:

I also see no streaks now, and the paint is very even. I’ll definitely use it more often and I’m curious if it will make the painting process go faster.

I’ve tried regular rollers before, and they didn’t work well with the acrylic paint, or I had to dilute it a lot. These work very well (in this test). I’m curious to see how they work on larger surfaces. Sorry to make you spend money again :zany_face:

I certainly hope so. I am over here on this gear Ball challenge and there are very few things that I could even use that on…but every little bit helps. I’ve accomplished two steps today because of all the painting which has to be done with a brush…LOL!

I think I’ll use it from now on on all parts that don’t have details I need to paint around. The paint goes on much better with this tool than with a brush.

I’ll be waiting to hear about larger surfaces. :blush: I’ll definitely add them to the list but not urgently. :laughing: I don’t think I have anything large to paint. Based on your experience, do you think I’ll need this for the Dream Factory? :pink_heart:
