Hanroy Sponge Paint Roller Small 8" for Texture Painting Decorators Brush Tool, Fast and Easy Pattern Art Sponge Roller for Home Wall

What a total waste of money and time. It makes such a mess, does not leave the ceiling looking like it’s supposed to. The company that is selling this product should be charged with false advertising. Do not buy this product or you will regret doing so.

Currently painting the spare 2 bedrooms gold which can be very heavy so using this to create a textured look instead. VERY glad I read the reviews for some great tips it is best to use without much paint on. Also, for a more even look best to roll fast rather than heavy.

Made texturing so much easier.

We painted a fake beam in our living room with metallic silver and because of the metallic element the paint was a gloss finish. I don't have a sprayer and I'm sure spraying metallic interior paint is difficult. So we used a 1" roller and brushes. After 3 coats it was clear that the roller/brush marks were not going away. The wife and I lived with this for 3 months until the day I went to throw out the paint can and noticed painting suggestions and a dot matrix stamp on the can to scan with a phone. Up came a You tube video showing how to finish the wall with this type of roller and similar sponges for the edges. Now, the beam looks incredible and it was a simple fix.

It's alright if you know how to use it. The roller does not have a female screw handle.
