Frame and Velour Roller

 Velour rollers are a 3mm pile. They are good for applying multiple thin coats of paint to achieve a sprayed on like finish.

Here are top tips to help you master the art of roller painting on furniture:

• Use a roller tray, making sure the roller is thoroughly coated with paint before gently rolling off any excess on the tray's inclined section.

• Avoid too little paint, which necessitates extra pressure, or too much, which can lead to an unwanted "orange peel" effect.

• Aim for even coverage by painting in straight passes, following the grain of the wood, from start to finish. Keep the pressure light on the last passes.

• Applying an extender and a light spray of water can provide additional time to perfect this method.
