    Tips for rollers.

    What do you guys mix with bucket paint to make more? Water, paint thinner? Anything else related to rollers can be posted here.

    I dont mix anything with bucket paint, but if I had to I guess I would use paint thinner.

    For 1 roller you could carry 2 gallons of buket paint and a roller in a backpack.

    u dont need cans for a roller. cracks and small outlines can be done just be smart about it. for a straight thin line use the side of the roller or the edge of the side. just thing of it as a big paint brush. and most of the time the roller isnt gonna come out as clean as a piece if its up high so do that best u can.

    ^^ Bump. And over at trackside, we'd bring one 10 gal. bucket filled with house paint and an extendable roller to reach those high tops. Maybe an extra roller replacement

    Personal preference but I don't see why you'd do it any other way.

    he fills the bucket with paint.. thats a lot of pain tho. think he means 5 gallon. and a ten gallon bucket would be hella heavy and not realistic to carry if they even make em.

    measure if u want, but it woud probably be easiest and more time efficent if you use things as reference, such as seams in the wall or by brick count, or by using the roller width ect...
