Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?

I've found that cheap bruhes work better than the Purdy because the roughness separates the bristles. That's why I was considering a paint sprayer because I have spent a lot on different brushes and rollers. I'm using a lot more paint trying to get coverage in all of the dimpled areas also. Would love advice on how to tackle my painting project!Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?
Get a roller with a 3/4 inch nap, or a lambs wool roller. You might still need to dab some paint in the deeper dimples, but these should do the job.Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?

There is a foam cover that is slit about every 1/2 inch. It works great on really rough surfaces. Lowe's and Orchard Supply Warehouse have them.That would be a lot faster than a brush and better coverage than a 3/4 inch regular cover.
Lowes sells rollers to use on rough surfaces. I wouldn't use a paint sprayer, unless you're painting outside.

There is a roller for these types of walls. and painting it is no diff than any other wall. I do use more coats for my own peace of mind,these types just take more patience.
