Asian Paints TruCare Interior Roller 800: The Secret to a Luxury Finish
When painting the inside of your home, the smoothness of the finish defines the quality of the job. Asian Paints TruCare Interior Roller 800 is a specialized painting tool engineered specifically for interior smooth surfaces. Unlike standard exterior rollers that have long fibers (nap) to cover rough textures, the “800 Series” features a medium-short nap.
This design holds plenty of paint but releases it in a fine, tight layer, eliminating the “orange peel” texture often left by cheaper rollers. Whether you are applying a premium emulsion like Royale Luxury or a standard Apcolite Premium, Asian Paints TruCare Interior Roller 800 ensures your investment in good paint isn’t wasted by a bad tool.
It glides effortlessly over POP, Gypsum, and Putty-finished walls, leaving behind a surface that looks professionally sprayed.
Why Choose the Asian Paints TruCare Interior Roller 800?
Not all 9-inch rollers are the same. The number “800” denotes a specific quality standard for interiors found in this roller:
- Optimal Pile Height: The fabric length is perfectly calibrated for smooth interior plaster. It picks up enough paint to cover well but not so much that it drips or creates texture.
- Lint-Free Technology: Nothing ruins a wall faster than shed fibers stuck in the paint. The 800 Series uses thermobonded fabric that resists shedding, ensuring a pristine finish.
- Superior Coverage: Its high-density fabric absorbs paint deep into the core and releases it slowly and evenly, allowing you to paint more square footage per dip.
Key Features
- Ultra-Smooth Finish: Designed to minimize roller marks and stipple texture, making it ideal for low-sheen and high-sheen interior paints.
- 9-Inch Width: The industry standard size covers large wall areas quickly while remaining easy to control.
- Anti-Splash: The controlled release of paint reduces splatter, saving your floors and furniture from mess.
- Durable Handle: Comes with a sturdy, reusable handle that fits comfortable in the hand and can be attached to extension poles for ceilings.
- Easy to Clean: The synthetic blend fabric washes out easily with water, allowing for multiple uses.

- Living Rooms & Bedrooms: Where surface smoothness and finish quality are most visible.
- Ceilings: Its good paint holding capacity reduces trips up the ladder.

How to Use Asian Paints TruCare Interior Roller 800 for Best Results
To get that “Royal” finish, use the roller correctly:
- Pre-Wash (Crucial): Before dipping in paint, wash the new Asian Paints TruCare Interior Roller 800 under running water to remove any manufacturing dust. Spin it dry (it should be damp, not dripping).
- Load Evenly: Dip the roller into the paint tray but do not submerge the axle. Roll it on the ribbed part of the tray to distribute paint evenly across the fabric. Read more on proper roller technique.
- The ‘M’ Technique: Roll a large ‘M’ or ‘W’ on the wall to distribute the bulk of the paint. Then, roll vertically to fill in the gaps. This prevents thick patches.
- Finish Down: For the final stroke on each section, roll gently from top to bottom to lay the paint particles flat for a uniform sheen.
- Cleaning: Wash immediately with water after use. Never let paint dry on the roller.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use Asian Paints TruCare Interior Roller 800 for exterior walls?
A: It is not recommended. Exterior walls are rougher and require a long-nap roller (like the TruCare Exterior 950 or 1000) to push paint into the crevices.
Q: Will this fit on any handle?
A: This product typically comes as a complete assembly (Roller + Handle). However, the refill sleeve is standard 9-inch and fits most Asian Paints 9-inch handles.
Q: Can I use it for enamel paint?
A: While possible, foam rollers or specialized velour rollers are often preferred for high-gloss enamels on doors to ensure a mirror finish.
