Paint roller

Excellent quality. Paint went on smoothly with just one coat

Worked great

Used for painting and light texturing on a recent bathroom project. Purdy products always perform well for me and at a reasonable cost.

Used to paint my concrete porch...

I used this roller to paint the outdoor concrete Sherwin Williams paint sold at Lowe's. I also not a clear good and put 3 costs over the paint after it dried. It turned out great...

leaves roller marks

Used the roller with zinzzer 123 primer. it left roller matt marks. I used float conditioner w/ the primer and it still left matt marks. I was told to pay a little more for a better quality.not impressed with the roller.

Go with a low knapp for a better finish

For a nice finish this is a good way to go but I’ve heard to get a truly professional look the pros use a wool mat and spread it out that way.

TERIBLE ROLLER DON'T BUY!!!

Just rolled my bathroom walls with Parrot roller. The walls were primed with two coats of primer and sanded absolutely smooth with 320 paper. I was taken in by claim on cover of mirror finish. I am using high gloss paint and I completely understand the importance of prep. I might as well have used a standard 3/8" or 1/2" nap roller.

My success at using the parrots was achieved through heavy loading of the rollers, then rolling out paint onto my surface, evening it out, then laying the paint off with my Nylox br...

Great roller

The roller worked really well. Seemed to make the paint last longer.

My contractor uses this

This is what my contractor used to cover his roller. If it's good enough for him it's definitely good for me

okay but not great

Worked alright but was less than thrilled. Even using paints that had covered well in one coat with other rollers, this one left its own seam pattern on the wall and absolutely required multiple coats for even coverage.

Paint Roller

This is my first time using Purdy parrot roller, I will usually purchase their brushes which are very good. I had not been getting good results from your standard rollers and decided to try theirs. I was pleaaed with the results and will try them again.
