Yes, HD actually has a reasonably priced "garage kit" that comes with pan, roller, scraper, 2in paint brush for edges, etc. All you will need is an extension handle and stuff bristle brush.

Yes Wanda i used a paint roller and it did a very good job. Be sure and use a quality 8 inch nap roller. I love my garage.

Yes, you use a paint roller for the application of the product. My son said that it was very easy to apply.

The Select Step comes with the work platform that can hold a can or a paint tray can sit on top of it.They sell the Fuel Tank that holds the paint in a trough that you just put your roller in vertically to load. I don't have that and may purchase it in the future.

Since it is a Roller not a sprayer, you might not get the result you are hoping for. If you are painting a relatively flat even surface you should be pleased.

Yes this can be used any place a conventional roller would be used. A great unit. It takes a few minutes to clean but it's worth the time.

You are suppose to keep it wet which is hard to do. After I completed the project a professional told me I should use a paint roller brush next year as it is a easy way of applying.

Paint or stain? Paint, yes... But it should be thinned a little bit. Stain, yes... But, again, it should be thinned if you are talking about a solid color stain. Using a semi-transparent or translucent oil-base product you could probably shoot it without thinning. Either way you go, you will probably still want. Whizz type of roller to back roll the sprayed portions so there are not any runs.

yes. i used it to paint stucco walls. it worked good. I had a few spots that I had to use a brush on to get in the grooves of the stucco but overall it did a fine job

yeah, but not 100% without some care and help with priming. i sprayed some heavy ceiling paint but it took as long as using a roller.... so if that's all you are considering using the machine for, i might pass. it is really designed for "regular" paints

Yes and no.. to use it that way, you would have to fill the tube with paint and at that point, the black interior plunger would be fully extended. The length then (refer to the picture of the lady holding the roller on the product page) might be close to eight feet. Just keep in mind that as you use the roller, the interior plunger pushes the paint into the roller head and the length will shorten. I've never used it that way and looking at mine, I don't believe it would work too well. I was able to handle nine foot walls with ease, by grasping the yellow trigger part. I haven't tried painting a ceiling with it.. Yes and no.. to use it that way, you would have to fill the tube with paint and at that point, the black interior plunger would be fully extended.

I would use a roller that's good for oil paint. I would not use a brush at all, it does leave marks. The roller was perfect.

If the plastic paint container is the same size as a regular paint can, then yes it will work. It will work with any container with a little ingenuity. It is designed to work with a standard one gallon paint can, but if you can get the suction hose into the paint container and secure it so it will not tip over (duct tape) it works. The only negative comment I have about the Power Roller is cleanup. If you are painting a small area or using more than one color, I would not recommend the Power Roller - too much time spent cleaning the machine.

Yes, I used a 3/8" nap roller, nothing special. When I did mine I did 3 light coats with drying time in between. I used a new roller with each coat. The floor has held up much better using this clear top coating than the original, but will still have to wait for a salty winter to put it to the fullest test.

We used printing ink with brayer rollers at our school and it worked great. We didn't try with tempera paint, so I don't know one way or the other on it. Good luck!

Can be rolled-on if you have large flat area. Will definitely leave brush marks if you drag your brush thru more than once or twice. Strongly recommend cleaning / prepping surface first; otherwise, overlapping rolls / strokes may pull up the paint that you just put down (...ask me how I know this!!). This is GOOD, high temp paint. Should last a long time. Just needs proper prep prior to application. GOOD LUCK.

Sorry, I have only used a 5" paint brush to apply and inside, I used a used a roller. It really isn't that much thicker, but I wouldn't use a handheld sprayer. I believe an airless pump style sprayer would work. Good luck.

NO. this paper is for Japanese/Chinese brush painting. I use photo paper for marbling.

Kit is complete with brush roller sleeve and handle and of course the paint which is more than enough to do a decent size kitchen. Don't recommend using their roller sleeve I found it makes bubbles. I am a professional painter and recommend a 4 inch permafiber sleeve it worked great! And no there is no clear top coat necessary, only need to clean cabinets with windex before painting! There are how to videos for this product online! Hope this was helpful! Btw the beauty of this product is that there is no priming involved.
