WE’RE NOT THE ONLY FUSSY ONES
A breakdown of the Two Fussy Blokes range
Which paint roller is right for you?
So how can you tell which paint roller is right for you? Here’s a handy breakdown of all the Two Fussy Blokes paint rollers and what you should use them for.
What roller length should you use?
For smaller walls and ceilings, choose a 230mm (9") roller, slightly larger surfaces we would recommend 270mm (11") and 360mm (14") would be used mainly on commercial projects or large surfaces.
» Keep in mind that larger rollers are heavier and more challenging to use.
Our Recommendation
The key to achieving a satisfying finish is to make sure that the painted surface is prepared well - holes filled, surface well cleaned, and dried. Also, before starting using our roller, always use water to "rinse & spin before you begin" and you will achieve the best finish right from the start. Besides, the post-painting cleaning process will be much easier too!
THE ROLLER COVER THAT LEAVES A SPRAY LIKE FINISHThe shortest nap in our mini-roller range, the 5mm is gaining huge popularity within upcycling communities and with well-known furniture painters like HPKUK. By enabling you to achieve a flawless finish without a spray gun, these 5mm rollers allow painters to transform old kitchens and furniture at a seriously low cost.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Because of the structure of the fabric, our 10mm Dacron rollers perform best with acrylic paints and are not suitable for oil-based paints.
If you’re priming your brand-new plasterboard walls or repainting either darker or lighter, our Dacron is the best pick to achieve optimal coverage and a professional-looking finish. Learn more about Dacron vs. microfibre here.
Our 5mm-nap microfibre rollers are best for smooth surfaces where a seamless finish is desired — such as flat walls, doors, and large cupboards.
10mm naps are best for top coats or large paint projects where more coverage and smooth finishes are required. Our roller-sleeve fabric is designed to leave a smooth, uniform finish on painted surfaces.
We recommend our Dacron roller for acrylic primers to enhance the finish of the microfibre.
Use a 15mm nap when you don’t require a smooth finish and when time is of the essence. Our 15mm-nap microfibre roller is ideal for these scenarios; it holds more paint than the 10mm (allowing you to complete your project more quickly) and still leaves a smooth finish.
