As long as the paper is firmly cemented no problem use a short nap roller

I've done it, it worked fine. Like HayZee518 suggested - use a short nap roller.
If I could only get rid of all this maintenance.

One potential problem here: if the grass cloth is attached with a water based adhesive, I would definitlely prime it first with an oil based primer, or even a shellac based like Kilz.
There is the potential for latex paint to soften the adhesive if is soaks thru the grass cloth.
