What paint rollers give smooth gloss finish?

[alex27]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for paint roller recommendations. I need to repaint doors, windows, wardrobes, etc.

I purchased these UNi-PRO High Density Foam Rollers not I am not quite happy with them. It says on the package that these rollers will provide super fine gloss finish, but in reality they create a bit rough texture for my liking rather than smooth and gloss finish. 

I wanted to achieve smooth finish, something similar to a melamine board texture many kitchen cabinets made from. 

Can you please recommend paint rollers that can actually deliver smooth and gloss finish.

Hello @alex27 

If you are after the next step up when it comes to paint finishes, I suggest thinking about investing in an electric paint sprayer such as the Wagner W100 Wood And Metal Paint Sprayer or the Ozito 400W Power Paint Spray Gun. These paint spray guns when operated properly can give you the type of commercial finish you might be after. The main advantage of course is that you get a roller and brush free finish. 

But if you wish to use rollers, I suggest looking at the Monarch 130mm 3 Piece Doors, Trims & Cupboards Ultra Microfibre Roller Kit

which is designed for gloss paint. 

I also suggest having a look at this guide: How to choose a paint roller and brush.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
