Creating a textured finish in emulsion paint
4 or 5 years ago my son had his living room repainted. The decorator
used a roller which introduced a slight texture to the finish to hide the perfections in the plastering. The roller produced small 'v' or diamonds in the paint. I have been trying to buy a a roller sleeve to produce the same effect in our own home with no success. I have tried Dulux/Crown/Leyland trade centres in the Newcastle area as well as a independent but they only stocked 'flat' rollers. Can anyone point me to supplier? George |

George When I was young, just after the war, my mother painted our living room with distemper using a roller in which she had cut patterns with a sharp knife. It worked very well. She was a talented and artistic woman but I can't see why anyone couldn't do it. Mary |

I think I have blagged a suitable roller from a friend, if he ever turns up with it. Cheers |
