Paint Runner Review


Paint Runner - As the title says - What a waste of money!

I had seen this product advertised in a number of places and repeatedly on Ideal World so i figured i would finally bite the bullet and stump up the cash to make my life easier.


Wasn't happy about the fact that the paint HAD to be diluted.
Watching the hour long presentation i think it may have been mentioned once that you can or might have to dilute.


Anyway, i figured if it needed to be and it gave the results shown and expected then so be it.


After following the instructions i still had no joy with any sign of paint.
After several more attempts and nearly ending up with colored water in the roller i got what can only be described as intermittent smears across the wall.


To further add insult to injury two other design flaws raised there head.
Firstly the material that covers the roller has a seam in it. This causes a line to appear on the wall each time the roller is run on that area. That is when i could get any sign of paint to come out you understand.


Second, The end cap that supposed to seal in the paint works its way off after only a few minutes.
Fortunately i spotted this in sufficient time to prevent it from popping off altogether and spewing paint all over the show. I guess if it had at least there would have been some coverage on the wall. 


If i could have rated less than 1 star i would have.
