Asian Paints TruCare Interior Foam Roller 720 (6 Inch) – Ultra Smooth Finish

Asian Paints TruCare Foam Roller 720: The Specialist for a Glass-Like Finish

When you need a finish so smooth it looks sprayed on, reach for the Asian Paints TruCare Foam Roller 720. This specialized 6-inch foam roller is engineered to eliminate the texture (“orange peel”) that standard fabric rollers leave behind. It uses high-density foam that holds paint within its microscopic pores and releases it gently onto the surface, creating a flawless, mirror-like finish.

It is the professional’s choice for painting doors, windows, cabinets, and metal furniture with enamel paints. Unlike brushes that leave stroke marks or cheap foam rollers that create bubbles, the Asian Paints TruCare Interior Foam Roller 720 is designed to glide smoothly, ensuring your woodwork and metalwork look factory-finished.

Why Choose the Asian Paints TruCare Interior Foam Roller 720?

For specific applications, foam beats fabric every time. Here is why the Asian Paints TruCare Foam Roller 720 excels:

• Zero Texture: Fabric rollers leave a stippled texture. This foam roller leaves a perfectly flat, smooth surface, which is essential for high-gloss paints like Apcolite Premium Enamel.
• Bubble-Free Technology: Cheap sponge rollers trap air, causing tiny bubbles that pop and leave craters in your paint. This roller uses high-density foam that minimizes aeration for a defect-free coat.
• Perfect Size: At 6 inches wide, it is agile enough to paint narrow door panels and cupboards but large enough to cover flat surfaces quickly.

Key Features

• High-Density Foam: Durable foam structure that doesn’t disintegrate quickly when used with solvents.
• Ultra-Smooth Application: Delivers a thin, uniform coat that self-levels perfectly.
• Rounded Ends: Prevents “tram lines” (paint ridges) at the edge of the roller stroke.
• Excellent Paint Pickup: Holds enough paint to cover a reasonable area without constant dipping.
• Versatile Handle Fit: Fits standard 6-inch roller handles (6mm rod).

Recommended Application Areas

This foam paint roller is the best tool for:

• Wooden Doors & Windows: Achieving a smooth, brush-mark-free finish on joinery.
• Kitchen Cabinets: Refinishing cupboards with a modern, flat look.
• Metal Grills & Gates: Coating flat metal sections evenly.
• Furniture Upcycling: Painting tables, chairs, and wardrobes.
• Stencil Work: The best roller for stenciling as it prevents paint bleeding under the design.

How to Use Your TruCare Foam Roller 720 Correctly

Note: Foam rollers require a light touch.

1. Prep: Ensure the surface is sanded smooth (320 grit) and dust-free. Any dust on the surface will show through the smooth paint. See tips for painting doors smoothly.
2. Load Lightly: Do not soak the Asian Paints TruCare Foam Roller 720. Dip it lightly and roll it on the tray ramp to distribute paint evenly. The foam should be wet but not dripping.
3. Apply Gently: Roll onto the surface with light pressure. Pressing too hard squeezes paint out of the sides.
4. Laying Off: Once the paint is on, do one final pass in a single direction (e.g., top to bottom) with almost zero pressure to level the surface.
5. Cleaning: Clean immediately. If using enamel, clean with MTO (Thinner). If using emulsion, clean with water. Squeeze, don’t twist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the handle included?
A: Typically, the “720” refers to the refill. Please check the product title; if it says “Refill,” you will need a 6-inch handle (like the TruCare 6-inch handle) separately.

Q: Can I use this for wall painting?
A: Yes, but only for very smooth surfaces. On standard plastered walls, a fabric roller (like the TruCare 800) is better as it holds more paint.

Q: Does it work with PU?
A: Yes, Asian Paints TruCare Foam Roller 720 is excellent for applying PU finishes on flat wood surfaces.
