Paint Rollers - Various Advice Required Please

[pawnhead]

Steer clear of the really cheap and nasty rollers. I bought a packet of a dozen Chinese 'no brand' rollers for a couple of bucks. The problem was that I couldn't find a single one that was round.

Have you ever tried driving on a corrugated road full of potholes, in a Ferrari with square wheels?

For cleaning paint rollers, the “Rolla Cleana” from Rota Cota is by far the easiest way to clean paint rollers (it really works). Sold by Bunnings for about $19.95 (at the Bunnings store where I shop the paint department has a video that demonstrates the product).

The product is no good for “shaggy dog” type rollers – the nap is too much.

Hi, you've answered some of my questions too. Additionally, would the foam type roller be okay for applying ACRYLIC gloss onto floor to ceiling wardrobe doors? (Original paint job is around 30 years old and I don't know whether it's enamel or acrylic.)

Yep
