Ratings & Reviews for Purdy 9-in x 1/4-in Nap Parrot Smooth Standard Woven Paint Roller Cover

These shed badly

I used masking tape on these and they STILL shed fibers all over the front door I was painting.

Works Perfectly!

Without question, this roller works outstanding when rolling kitchen cabinet boxes on site (spraying doors, etc. off-site). I have not checked the mil thickness but this roller works perfectly on both vertical and horizontal surfaces laying on tops coats of either Benjamin Moore Advanced Gloss or Satin, and also for top coats of Farrow & Ball Full Gloss. These rollers in capable hands, will lay the pain on beautifully. *And DON'T tell me about lint from the roller in your paint! Come on.......

Great

Excellent coverage

Best roller for oil paint

Perfect for Polyurethane. Did not like that Lowe’s doesn’t have this product on the shelf and the need for custom order

Check the ends before buying.

One had no cap on the end so it would not work.

listed as 3" on web site

Ordered 3" roller cover, received 4 1/2" roller cover twice because lowes web page product discription says 3" roller cover, but product item number is a 4 1/2" roller.

paint roller

easy to work with and cleans up well

Great roller for water-based poly application

The product was as described and led well during the entire process. There was some lint that I had to remove prior to the beginning of the job. Strongly recommend.

Great Service

Items were delivered promptly and just what I ordered.

NOT Very Smooth

Very disappointed. The roller left blue lint/fibers and huge paint ripples. Will never buy again, it was a waste of money. I should have read the reviews first. The lint/roller fibers seem to be a problem.

Best mini mirror finish roller

This is hands down the best mini roller for clear high gloss finish you can buy in box store . Purdy quality control is much better than most . Always hit ur roller with a soft brush before loading with product . If you keep a wet edge and full roller it will level off to mirror finish everytime . I have found it does not work well with latex products without the use of fluid flow addition to paint.

Lint lint lint

Left green lint all over the latex paint - after I delinted the roller two times with painters tape. Worst roller cover I've ever used. Should have read the reviews first.

lots of green thread linting

purchased for interior door project which required priming prior to applying urethane paint. the linting was terrible, leaving green threads all over the primer coats requiring additional sanding.

Lint

Used this roller because we wanted a super smooth finish on the final coat of a desk, we ended up with blue/green lint in the white paint on all surfaces. We should have stuck with the Wooster roller we used for the first coat, we now need to sand down and recoat to repair after using this Purdy roller.

Worked great for oil based marine spar urethane

Works as advertised. Used a high quality ultra soft brush to apply spar urethane and still had brush strokes. Be thorough with the delinting (rolled over painters tape as another reviewer recommended) and you will have a superior result.
