    And when you roll, use a broomstick. Helps lots.

    Spraying actually takes longer.

    Unless you intend to paint all furniture, and the windows.

    I love my ROLLER ON A STICK. iF YOU USE GOOD PAINT its not a big deal. I recently had to paint over a bright RED wall a tenant had left me. I used SICCO paint from Color your world and it actually covered in ONE coat.

    Cleaning the mess from a roller can take minutes, cleaning the overspray from a sprayer will take you days.

    I buy rollers whenever I see a sale on them. That way i just toss them when done and put on a new one.I have also put a roller with paint in the freezer and then used it again a few days later...works very well....especially when you are going over the same wall again.(wrap the roller in saran wrap)
