Forget brushes and rollers. They're crap. Use a pad.

I agree with the music bit though.

How well do those work on heavy texture like stucco ?

I couldn't get my house to sell and the complaint was the bold colors. So I spent a 4 days living in the house (no furniture) and painting non-stop, though I did sleep at night. Music helped me keep my sanity.

They work fine on textured surfaces. Who mentioned stucco?


The music should suit any.

I mentioned stucco . I may have a small painting job on stucco and have always used rollers . I was wondering if this would be a good time to try a pad for the 1st time .

But isn't a pad flat? I'v always used a roller and they've done fine.

All I'll say is that using a roller on stucco will result in more sweat on your walls than paint.

Of course it's flat. That's partly why it gets more paint onto the walls!

I haven't had any problems rolling on stucco before . You just have to use a roller with a really thick nap . I always thought like Kirksley , that a pad would get hung up on the texture too much as it's dragged across it .

So use one. You're doing the job, not me.

The professional painter says heavy nap roller for textured surfaces.
pads are for D.I.Y.'s (do-it-yourself) Cut the edges in with a 3" black bristle brush.

Coincidentally, I'm currently redoing my own home as we speak (between moves and chatting on rhp of course). 🙂

Enjoy the experience!

Oh, I'm so sorry. I was under the impression that these were DIY jobs.

Forgive me. I don't know what I must have been thinking.
