ROLLING PAINT IS LIKE ICING A CAKE. At Color Baggage we obsess about wall color for a reason. A cake wouldn't be a pretty cake without pretty frosting. Pant color is the pretty frosting on your cake. WE EAT WITH OUR EYES FIRST. Rolling paint on a wall quickly spreads color evenly across a massive surface, saving time and ensuring a smooth application. The thickness of the roller nap affects how much paint it can hold and how it applies to different surfaces: The material of a roller impacts how smooth the final coat looks.  Thickness: Think of paint roller covers as sponges. The finer the sponge, the less water it holds, while a thicker one has more. The denser the sponge, the more paint it will hold, filling in the pockets while rolling over surfaces. We recommend using a woven microfiber with a 1/4" nap for smooth or lightly textured surfaces. Opt for a higher nap thickness for rougher textures. 1/4" Naps: Ideal for for a smooth application, ensuring even spreadability and drying.3/8" Naps: It holds more paint and is suitable for filling in gaps on lightly textured surfaces.1/2" Naps: Works well on rougher textured surfaces, providing ample paint coverage. Materials: Think of roller nap material as a makeup sponge. The smoother the sponge, the softer the blend, the more polished the final look. These are the two we recommend: Woven: Microfiber / Mohair Delivers an exceptionally smooth finish with no lint residue.Knit: Polyester / LambswoolLeaves a textured stipple for a different aesthetic.

Step 5: Hire a painter that trusts your color choices Once you have finalized Devine Color Harmony, paint finishes, the amount of paint you need per room, and your shipping dates, choose a painter who values your color choices as much as you do. If they suggest matching the colors in another brand "to save money," ask them these simple questions: "Will you guarantee a perfect match after the paint dries and cures for three weeks or repaint for free if it's off? " They won't, and here's why: Painters don't make or match paint. They apply it. Paint company matches allow for a 10% variance due to differences in pigment formulas, quality levels, sheens, surface textures, lighting conditions, and surrounding colors. Hire someone who respects your vision and understands that quality paints deliver better long-term results. If you are doing it yourself, make sure you have all the tools you need.

Color Matching: Why True Love Can't Be Copied At Color Baggage, we believe your color attractions are deeply personal—they’re part of your story, your baggage, and your life. These aren’t fleeting trends; they’re enduring relationships that feel like true love. What People Think: "Color matching saves money and looks the same."
