Must Have Painting Tools
Here are some must-have painter products to ensure a flawless finish every time. Just make sure that you buy high-quality paint first because a quality tool does not work miracles on low-quality paint.
Must-Have Checklist
Wall Cleaner
You should always work with a clean surface, as dirty walls will often prevent the paint from adhering or cause it to bubble.
Painter‘s Tape
While buying this is important, it is just as important on how you apply it. Once it is on the wall, run a damp rag over the edges, as this creates a seal. Pay attention to the release dates or when the tape must be removed, as it does vary from 15 to 30 days.
Brushes
A 2 1/2-inch angled brush is made for painting trim and cutting in.
Rollers
A standard 9-inch roller that has a synthetic core and a 3/8-inch nap is a classic. To test the core, use your thumb and index finger and push down on both sides of the roller. You shouldn’t be able to close it, and mini paint roller frames are also convenient when working around small spaces.
Canvas Drop Cloths
Even though it is more expensive to buy canvas, it can be used time and time again, so they eventually pay for themselves. Get the 4-foot-wide runner to use near the walls.
Paint Brush Cleaner
This product ensures that brushes are clean for future use.
Plastic Bucket
It is easier to pour paint into these than working from a quart or gallon.
Plastic Roller Tray
Instead of metal, purchase a heavy-duty plastic tray. They are rigid; however, when you clean them, the paint doesn’t stick and will come right off.
