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.

Left lint!!
Would Not RecommendNot happy like a lot of others. I read about these rollers before I purchased and followed advice from others about washing and using 5 in 1 tool under running water before using and it did not help. Thought I made it worse so opened up the second roller and used tape to get any lint off and I still had lint all through my paint.

Go with a low knapp for a better finish
Would RecommendFor 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!!!
Would Not RecommendJust 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. I now have textured walls not anything that resembles a mirror finish. Would you like to send someone over to sand down the texture created by your roller? Didn't th...
