The presenter describes the specialized perforated roller sleeves required for the airless roller system. He highlights the critical importance of 'delinting' these sleeves prior to their first use to prevent loose fibers from transferring to the freshly painted surface. He notes that the perforation process itself can sometimes cause lint. For cleanup, he explains that the internal manifold is easily detachable for quick washing. The roller sleeves, being inexpensive, can often be simply thrown away after a job, saving extensive cleaning time. The airless sprayer unit itself is cleaned using its standard procedure, typically by running water through it.

Goal: Learn proper preparation of roller sleeves and the cleaning process for the airless roller components.
