Rolling the Walls

What happens here

Simultaneously, the third painter starts rolling the walls. Use a 9-inch roller with a 3/8-inch nap roller cover. Begin rolling directly behind the person doing the ceiling cut-ins, ensuring that the rolled paint blends into the still-wet cut-in areas. This technique prevents 'flashing' or visible lines where the brushwork meets the roller work. Apply paint in 'W' or 'M' patterns to ensure even coverage, then fill in the pattern with vertical strokes.

Goal: Apply paint evenly to the walls, maintaining a wet edge with cut-in areas.
