What is Backrolling?

Backrolling is using a manual roller over a surface immediately after paint is sprayed on. Sprayers coat quickly, but backrolling pushes wet paint deep into the texture, pores, and cracks of siding or drywall. This process ensures better adhesion, fills missed spots, and creates an even coat.
