Simply pour a gallon of paint in the bottom of the bucket and dip the roller into it. Roll the roller up the screen to push out all the excess paint so it won’t splatter when you apply it to the wall. Using a bucket with a lid allows you to cover leftover paint so it doesn’t dry out.
What can I use instead of a paint tray?
