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.

Would Not RecommendJust tried this with water-based modified urethane semi-gloss. I wrapped the roller with tape to remove loose fibers. Despite this, noticed a ton of loose fibers in the paint

Be Aware
Would RecommendThe smaller roller tended to slide rather than roll on smooth surfaces. The result was uneven coverage. The problem was insufficient weight on the small roller to generate the necessary friction for it to roll.

Stay away! Lint, lint, and lint
Would Not RecommendI thought this would be the best roller cover for smooth surface, even the package says "very smooth". In fact, I went extra miles to get this, and the roller frame this junk needs, hoping this would give me the smoothest surface. WHAT A MISTAKE! This piece of junk lints everywhere. You will end up spending lots of time getting new roller cover, sanding out the lint, and repainting. Do not make the same mistake as I did, and stay away from it.
