Ratings & Reviews for Purdy 9-in x 1/4-in Nap Parrot Smooth Standard Woven Paint Roller Cover
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this roller for delivering glass-like, professional-grade finishes that rival spray application, particularly on cabinets, furniture, and trim with polyurethane and enamel paints. The 1/4 inch nap and sturdy construction enable smooth, even coverage with minimal texture. However, many report significant lint shedding that requires sanding and repainting despite pre-treatment efforts. Some users note the roller performs exceptionally well with oil-based products and can be reused after washing. While lint contamination remains a frustration for a notable portion of reviewers, most who follow proper technique consider the finish quality worth the effort.

The paint held well to the previous coat and was really smooth. The color was uniform as well. The previous layer of paint had been there for over 15 years. All were the same brand I believe.

Good Quality Roller for Shellac Primer
Would RecommendI was looking for a roller to apply shellac primer to a small wood surface and settle the Purdy ¼ inch Nap Smooth Finish. I did research prior and concluded that this product should do a well enough job to apply the shellac. After a light sanding, I applied two coats. I application and the finish came out great, no complaints. Definitely the right roller for the job.
