Paint Coverage Tips:
Poor paint film coverage can be contributed to low quality applicators (brush & roller). Premium applicators are recommended for all painting applications. The correct roller nap length provides the proper paint film that covers and hides the surface. Product labels provide recommended applicator instructions.
