Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960 – Professional Roller Tray

Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960: The Essential Companion for Every Roller Job

Painting with a roller is the fastest way to cover walls, but dipping a 9-inch roller into a round bucket is messy and inefficient. The Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960 is the professional solution designed to make your painting experience clean, fast, and effective. This sturdy plastic tray is engineered to hold a generous amount of paint while providing a stable platform for loading your roller.

The secret to a smooth wall finish isn’t just the roller; it’s how evenly the paint is distributed on the roller sleeve. The Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960 features a specialized ribbed ramp (washboard) that removes excess paint and spreads it uniformly across the fabric. This prevents drips, splashes, and uneven patches on your wall, ensuring a professional result every time.

Why Choose the Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960?

Using a bucket or a makeshift container can ruin your paint job. Here is why this tray is indispensable:

• Uniform Loading: The textured ramp allows you to roll off excess paint, ensuring the roller is saturated but not dripping. This is impossible to achieve with a simple bucket.
• Waste Reduction: By controlling the amount of paint on the roller, Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960 significantly reduces spillage and splatter on your floors.
• Stability: Designed with sturdy legs to sit flat on the floor or a ladder shelf without tipping over.

Key Features

• Deep Well: The reservoir holds a sufficient quantity of paint, reducing the need for constant refills from the main drum.
• Ribbed Ramp: The angled, textured surface helps rotate the roller cover to ensure even coating on all sides.
• Standard Fit: Perfectly sized to accommodate standard 9-inch rollers (like the TruCare 800 series) and smaller sizes.
• Durable Material: Made from high-quality, solvent-resistant plastic (Polypropylene) that doesn’t crack easily and withstands chemical thinners.
• Easy Pour Spout: Often features corner spouts to pour unused paint back into the can without making a mess.

Recommended Application Areas

This painting tool is essential for:

• Wall Painting: Loading rollers for emulsion application on large walls and ceilings.
• Enamel Work: Using foam rollers for doors and cabinets (compatible with oil paints).
• Priming: Applying base coats efficiently without wasting material.

How to Use the Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960 Effectively

To get the best performance from your roller, follow these steps:

1. Fill the Well: Pour paint into the deep reservoir at the bottom of the Asian Paints Trucare Painting Tray 960. Do not overfill; the paint should not cover the ramp.
2. Load the Roller: Dip the roller into the paint, then roll it back and forth on the ribbed ramp. Do this 2-3 times until the roller is evenly coated but not dripping. Learn more about loading a paint tray correctly.
3. Paint: Apply to the wall. When the roller starts to feel dry or makes a “sticky” sound, reload from the tray.
4. Clean Up: Pour unused paint back into the can using the corner spout. Wash the tray immediately with water (for emulsion) or thinner (for enamel) to reuse it for years.
