CONT

The pressure roller has a number of advantages over normal rolling. It is a lot faster, for one. Because it is constantly fed with paint, you don’t have to stop painting to dip your roller in the paint. As a result, the finish should be better with no lapping marks and patchy paint distribution. And despite it being a pressurized system, there is very little overspray.
