Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

I am going out to get the stuff today and hope to get it done within a week - I am planning on doing one wall at a time - that way I don't have to clear the room out, just clear enough for the wall I'm painting

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

So.... have you decided on pads, roller or brush, Azz?

Good luck with it, have a cloth ready to mop up the spots!

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

Decided on.... pads

I've never used them before and lots of recommendations for them so thought - why not lol especially if they are cleaner

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

Good luck with the painting - be nice to know how you get on with the paint pad. I painted my bedroom a while ago and after it was finished hated the colour so had to do it all again.

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

Oh dear! What colour did you paint it, then change it to?

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

I painted it a sort of duck egg blue to match soft furnishings but went back to buttermilk (a shade of magnolia) Really much prefer neutral colours on the walls with the colour in the curtains, cushions, etc.

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

LOl guess what - my room is duck egg blue (ish) at the mo and I want to change to soft sunlight yellow

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

Oh my goodness, how strange. Sunlight yellow definitely much better - the ducks can keep their blue eggs.

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

Yes , paint pods are expensive , but he`s looking for paint pads





How you getting on with the painting Azz ?


I`m not a bad wee painter myself as it happens ( ** she says as her nose grows ** ) ..........

Re: Paint pads for painting walls - better than rollers?

lol u nutta

I haven't started yet - just about to tho... I ended up getting 'lemon ice' and 'soft sunlight' as I couldn't decided between the two - so bought testers for both. Btw they are on offer at the mo - two for £20 instead of £15 each! That was a nice surprise as it doesn't show on their website (B&Q).

Will let you know what I end up going with
