richo106 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hi All I am finally at that point of putting paint on the walls - I feel like there is 1000's m2 to do! All the walls and ceilings are mist coated I am planning on giving the walls light sand down by hand with a pole sander, what grit would people recommend? Also what is a good roller that people could recommend for me to emulsion the walls & ceilings? I have bought lots a cheap ones in the past but they have all being rubbish Any advice/recommendations very helpful Any general painting tips appreciated too! - was planning on doing the ceilings, woodwork and then walls in that order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 180 grit. get a professional adjustable pole and a frame that takes a roller sleeve with a fitting in both ends, not a sleeve that pushes onto a cage roller handle, you will get a better even pressure on the roller. Hamilton perfection roller sleeve 12 inch, medium pile. £20 for 3. get 4inch for the edges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
