Roll Walls Like A PRO!

What happens here

When rolling large wall sections, apply paint generously to the roller cover, ensuring it is fully saturated. Start applying the paint in the middle of a section, then roll upwards towards the ceiling and downwards towards the baseboard to unload the paint. The goal is to cover the wall from top to bottom, or bottom to top, ensuring a uniform layer. Immediately inspect the applied paint for any heavy spots or holidays (missed areas). Smooth out any heavy spots by laying off the paint with a dry roller. Fill in holidays by reloading the roller and applying a thin coat. For optimal results, ensure the entire wall is thoroughly covered and free of inconsistencies before moving on.

Goal: Achieve even and consistent paint coverage on large wall sections
