A couple of people have mentioned pads are quicker - I just can't see

reason for preferring rollers.

What size pads and rollers are we talking about?


I'm talking about 9" pads v. 12" rollers. I know you can get a lot more
paint onto the wall with a roller, but I've found the overall painting
process (getting the paint on then spreading it into an even coat) to be
quicker with pads.

This is of course only on smooth(ish) surfaces - if you're painting a
textured surface, you're far better off with a HVLP sprayer.
