Here’s how to get a 20 minute paint job done in 10 minutes!  Use a smart roller that holds enough paint to cover a 9ft x 8ft wall.

The smart roller sucks the paint out of a paint can and into the roller handle.  It then delivers the paint to the roller as you cover the wall with paint.

Wagner has two kinds of smart rollers for painting walls.  The first is manual.  You squeeze a lever on the handle to load paint into the roller.  That’s model # 0530003 which retails for around $22.00.

Before You Buy …

Read the reviews and operating instructions for these paint rollers BEFORE you paint.  They come with packets of petroleum jelly that are used to lubricate the o-rings that keep the roller and handle from leaking paint.  If the o-rings get dry, paint can squirt past them and then it gets all over your hands and the floor.
