What happens here

For larger walls, use a wide roller (e.g., 18-inch roller) to cover more surface area efficiently. Use a corresponding large paint pan or bucket for adequate paint supply. Ensure the roller is always fully loaded with paint to prevent dry napping. If the roller makes a hissing sound, it's dry and needs more paint. Roll the paint from top to bottom (or vice versa), applying it to a section, then moving to the next. Avoid excessive pressure, as this can create heavy spots that run, leading to unevenness. Apply lighter pressure at the beginning and end of each stroke, and increase pressure in the middle. The goal is to lay out the paint evenly across the wall.

Goal: Maximize painting efficiency and achieve even coverage on large surfaces
