Hello

Have you ever soaked the roller in a paint solvent? Normally, the roller can be used again afterwards. Of course, it also depends on which paint you used and how long the roller has been dried out.

if the scooter is going to be something again then you have to have a lot of warm water and even more patience. But with the prices for these scooters, it is certainly more sensible if you buy a new one. But then let that be a lesson for you and always wash the thing out immediately, then you can save yourself such troubles.

Hello oobravo,

If your paint roller has dried out completely, you can safely dispose of it. No matter how you remove the leftover paint, there will always be some paint residue remaining, and when you paint something again, you might end up with old paint residues in the new paint. It's better to buy a new one. I would recommend a [Lammfellrolle]. They are very good. Wash it immediately after use with warm water to prevent this from happening.

if you're already making the effort to paint your walls and ceilings yourself, then please do it with good tools! otherwise, it would be too much of a shame for the hard work. and if the new paint is full of dirt, then the new paint roller would have been worth it after all! - it doesn't cost the world.
