Since painting with a brush takes time I decided to paint the wall of my living room with a paint roller. I didn’t know about the process of painting with a roller and thus, I called my uncle who always paints his house. I asked him how to paint the wall with roller and here are the steps that he asked me to follow.

How do you Paint a Wall with a Roller?
Here are the steps that my uncle informed me to paint the walls.
Remove all the furniture from the room and cover the floor with clothes to prevent the floor from getting dirty.
Now add painter’s tape on the areas of the walls that I wanted to keep clean.
After that, thoroughly stir the paint in the bucket before pouring it into the paint tray.
Following that, I had to dip the roller into the paint on the tray and roll it back and forth several times.
Finally, to apply the paint to the wall, I had to roll a “W” on the wall with the roller, filling the empty spaces in a top to bottom motion.
And that’s what he told me when I asked him how to paint with roller on wall. My uncle also told me to wait till the wall is dry before applying a second coat of paint. Hope this helps.
