Paint Roller

[richo106]

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

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.

We used Purdy. Seemed to do a great job.

Thank you both I will look into these now

 

Also does this make sense paint wise:

 

Ceilings/Coving - Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt

Walls - Dulux Trade Diamond Matt (for all downstairs and landing) planning to use vinyl matt for bedrooms

Woodwork - Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell
