Recently updated on December 14, 2019 at 04:38 am

Do you want to give your car a new look? Normal car painting is not an option for you because you want to make it individual and cheap? Then you should consider the possibility of painting using a roller. But there are numerous ways of painting. There is paintwhich spray, foiling and just rolling. First of all, it should be said that no matter which variant you choose, you should not expect to get a perfect result, as an experienced and professional painter with good equipment or a foil achieves. Nevertheless, the variant of rolling presented below is an opportunity for the layperson to get a remarkable result for little money.

Advantages: Paint the car with the roller

An advantage of car painting with a role is the low cost. With only a few resources available in a larger hardware store. Another advantage is that the handling of the roller or brush can be mastered by almost anyone. Thus, even less experienced tuners can achieve an acceptable result, without long training. With a roller almost all types of paints can be applied. Thus, you can easily mix the desired and individual color. By using a roller, the painting result is usually more uniform and constant, compared to the brush or untrained on a spray gun / spray bottle without spray booth.

Disadvantages: Paint the car with the roller

A disadvantage of the paint with the role is that you often can not get in very winding and difficult places and therefore has to work with the brush. This can lead to the paint being dirty and stained. Another disadvantage is that smooth coatings are often not feasible. One should be aware that the paint finish will be rather dull, which is simply due to the process. The danger of a so-called organ skin of the paint is more than likely. Furthermore, normally many parts have to be removed or taped laboriously. This is also the case with a proper paint job!

What to look for when painting the car with the roller?

If you paint the car with the roller, make sure that you spend most of your time preparing. A good preparation of the car and the workplace is more than important. Then you should make sure that the vehicle is sparkling clean and fat-free and also the working environment dust-free and protected. To varnish by roller you should different roles (of course with a brush painting different brushes) to choose from. In addition to different sizes and lengths, the material is crucial. A fuzzy roll, a foam roller or a latex roll. Depending on the desired surface finish, select the appropriate roll. It is also important to make sure that you select the right paint and the car before freeing of all bumps, loops and processed with primer to get a correspondingly good painting result. Damage should also be rectified immediately.

the steps are often identical

You should also carry out the work step of applying the paint in a closed room with as little dust / dirt / air turbulence as possible and, depending on the paint used, wear a suitable protective mask. In addition to the desired color, the costs of cleaning material, masking material, tools and also the disposal of paint / masking paper etc. should not be underestimated. If you plan to paint the car with a brush or with a compressor and paint gun, the work steps are almost identical. With the spray gun, however, working in an enclosed space without a corresponding trigger is in no way recommended. You can find more information about this in the countless tutorials that you can find on YouTube & Co.
