Problem

What grit fixes roller marks after painting?

Dried paint can show roller lines, texture, or lap marks.

Answer

For dried roller marks, sand lightly with 320 or 400, then 600 for smoother repaint prep.

Why it happens
Raised roller texture needs light sanding only after the coating has dried enough to powder.
Recommended grit
Use 320 or 400 for raised roller marks, then 600 for smoother repaint prep.
Wet or dry
Dry.
Success check
The roller texture is leveled and the area is ready for repainting.

What to do

  1. Let the paint dry fully.
  2. Sand raised roller marks with 320 or 400.
  3. Feather the surrounding area.
  4. Use 600 if a smoother final coat is needed.
Avoid: Do not sand paint that still smears.
