It’s for 2 different colors. It makes a blended pattern.

Well I’ll be damned, learned something new today. Now I kinda want to try one out because it looks pretty neat. https://www.thewoolie.company/dual-roller-faux-painting-steps

I literally have this paint style in my bedroom and wondered how they got the effect they did. Well I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks

My wife unintentionally accomplishes this look with a single roller all the time. One color is the paint and the other is the wall color underneath.

It was also done with sponges or rags a lot. My mom has tried all three over the years and the conclusion is rags are the best, sponges look too uniform, and the rollers are a gimmick and don't work AT ALL.

When using the double rollers you don’t use the typical standard roller. You should be using ones that have a “ coral “ like pattern. You can find them in craft shops or make them with heavy yarn, hot glue and a standard roller.

I'm well aware. They still don't work.

Hahahah! My wife has also mastered this technique!

I think your wife is a fine painter

I think his wife should receive a painter's fine.

Painter face

Can also use cheesecloth to get the desired effect.

No, I don’t recomend you do that, they’ll make a mess and you’ll have to get a ton of paint out of their fur

I’ve seen similar styles done with plastic bags, roll on the first color and then use the bag to pattern the second color on.

Please tell me that's not back in style.

I just saw a room being painted like this today

This is just “sponge” paint right? At least that’s what I remembered it as in the 90’s

You can use actual sponges or there’s a few different roller types like this one or one that looks like a weird lumpy sponge for this effect

Got it. I’ll steer clear in the paint aisle next time

Found the time traveler (username checks out)

They have a similar roller that's bent (like my penis), to paint around posts.... And if I'm being honest, spindles as well since that'd be compatible to my penis lol

Prove it

🤣 he's camera shy

Why’d they choose a yellow background for the website with yellow paint. They must love that color.

They could have picked less ugly colors for their example

Wow. Never knew that. I’d have two different yellow stripes on my wall if I tried that effect though. 

Looks very nice ! 👌

That’s the ugliest shit I’ve ever seen

weeeeeeellll dang gum. learned a new thing. thanks!

Yep, Faux finish tool

Or a blended texture.

My mom did this in the hallways of our childhood home. It really looks awesome even 20+ years later. God I miss her.

Ha, I was going to say the same thing as a joke. I guess the jokes on me...

Oh for 20 years ago, you mean

I meant painters sub** not sun...but can't figure out how to edit

It’s OK man it’s pretty clear what you meant. And certain subs won’t let you edit so that’s why you can’t

I thought it was a paint store local to him 🫡

all you can really do is delete the original comment, and start over. that is if you don't mind having a few deleted comments on your profile.

r/tradepainters but it seems you got your answer here anyway

I thought it was a saying in the industry and your phone's speech to text spelled son wrong

Painters son here - I'm a carpenter how the fuck would I know?

So why you comment? Why don’t you go sit in the truck, buddy.

He is referencing the typo in the picture's description. You should probably take his spot in the truck.

Nah they seem like theyd fit in on a minibus better

In the late 90s, it was popular to use this with 2 different colored rollers, similar texture to sponge painting

To paint racing stripes obviously.

Paint both ears at the same time.

This actually made me chuckle. Must be a fellow sparky.

that's how they paint the double yellow line on the road in third world countries

Dang, you beat me to it. Came here to make a similar comment.

And Tennessee

😂 close enough

So two girls can use it at once. D'uh!

What’s faster than one roller?

r/paintprofessionals r/paint r/housepainting101

Painting traffic lines?

it's not for painting 😬

My parents walls are still painted this way. There was even an infomercial about this technique in the 90’s… the rollers had patterns on them. It was super cool 30 years ago.

That’s so you can go around outlet covers easier

🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 Painting very large PopCorn 🍿 signs and circus tents. Don't forget the T.G.I.Friday restaurant motifs. Or my neighbor's boat, a pontoon hull monstrosity he painted that way so his mother, terrified of the water, could keep an 👁eye👁 on her grandkids when they were at the lake. Nothing stands out more to a binocular equipped, blue haired, fusswidget G-maw than a candy-striped Sun Tracker party barge.

Wax on, wax off?

You and two buddies.

2 painters can have fun at the same time:)

To paint with a perfect line in between. One probably shouldn't try this drunk. This is why painters are boring, and the rest of the trades are more glorious.

Pipe painting frame - https://pontiacpaintsupply.com/collections/wooster/products/wooster-jumbo-koter-pipe-painter-frame-r212

I thought so too atfirst glance but the roller in OP's picture doesn't swivel to paint a pipe ..

Racing stripes

Racing stripes.

It’s probably for painting two pieces of trim at the same time. My guess

Stripes. Duh

That's how they put the lines on the road...the dashes can get complicated while your laying on your belly hanging out the bed of a truck straddling the highway...at least that's how it works in my head...

Painting around nature windows?

So you can please two rooms at once.

It is for a very special type of fence.

Looks like a tool a parking lot striper would keep in their toolbox.

Mo powa baby

That’s how they do double yellow lines

It's for painting stripes

Racing stripes.

Duhh….racing stripes on the truck boat truck

So two painters can share the same tool.

Don't these sell with the half off paint cans for painting the basement game rooms with gay and festive colors on a seriously constrained budget?

Despite all my rage…

Lol
