Can you reuse paint rollers after washing them and apply a different color?

Yes, if you clean them completely. Make sure the water runs clear, however, it might be easier to just get new roller covers, they're pretty cheap. It may take quite some time and a lot of water and energy to get them clean enough to reuse.Can you reuse paint rollers after washing them and apply a different color?
Yes; just make sure you have the roller cover COMPLETELY cleaned out. Get a roller spinner at a local paint store. This will help dry out the roller quickly so you can move on in your project.Can you reuse paint rollers after washing them and apply a different color?
I used to, but quit. It just isn't worth the cleanup. Roller pads aren't that expensive, and they never really work the same after the first go.





Plus it takes a while to get most of the first color out of the pad.





Unless you're really cheap, just buy new ones.
yes. i've done it a few times. just make sure that they are completely clean and free of paint or else they will dry hard.
