Essential Painting Supplies
Your supply needs may vary based on the specific room and paint type you're using. Here's a basic checklist to help you get started:
- Paint: Once you select a color, you'll need to decide on a finish: flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. Flat finishes are less cleanable and best for low-traffic areas. Satin, eggshell, and semi-gloss options are versatile and easy to clean. Gloss finishes are very shiny and ideal for trim or molding.
- Paint Applicators: Invest in quality rollers and brushes. A good roller, especially one with a thicker nap, is key for covering large areas. For trim and corners, a small angled brush is useful, while a three-inch flat brush or paint pad is great for tight spots.
- Miscellaneous Supplies: Beyond paint and applicators, gather drop cloths, cleaning rags, paint trays, spackling, sandpaper, and a putty knife for wall repairs. A sturdy ladder is essential?"opt for one with a wide base for stability, like a Little Giant Ladder.
