Ah, the crusty roller from my anecdote. If the paint is already dried, you have two options. One: soak the roller in a bucket of warm water and fabric softener for 24 hours. The softener loosens the paint, but it’s a long shot. Two: buy a new roller. Seriously, new rollers cost like $5. Your time and frustration are worth more than that. Throw the fossil away and start fresh. No shame in it, I promise. I’ve done it at least four times myself.
You might also try using a pressure washer if you’re feeling like a rebellious artisan. But honestly? It’s a mess. The paint flecks will hit your car, your face, and your neighbor’s cat. Save the pressure washer for the driveway.
