Back Rolling and Back Brushing

Two house painting techniques used to push the primer or paint into the surface is back rolling and back brushing. This takes place during spray paint application.

Immediately using a roller after spraying can push the material into these small cracks and surface imperfections. This creates a filled, protected, smoother surface.

Try back rolling on new textured drywall. Back roll as the wallboard primer is applied. This results in a smoother more even finish.

Back brushing is used in special cases were a roller will not work. The same principles apply. By using a brush instead of a roller, the primer or finish can be pushed around and worked into the surface. For clear finishes having a brush handy is a good idea, to catch any runs.

Try either of these house painting techniques the next time you paint the outside of your home. Great for Siding, Stucco and Concrete Block.
