When tackling a painting project, the details can make all the difference. Even a little bit of missing prep work can make your finished project look terrible. Another thing you will want to consider is the tools for the job. Sometimes the things we think we won’t need could be vital for the desired outcome. Here are 7 tools and tricks to get a clean finish.
Sturdy Ladder – You will need to be able to reach all of your project to mask or paint efficiently.
Roller Extension Pole – This tool will help you reach the top of your walls with a fluent stroke.
Pre-Mixed Spackling – This works for most patching jobs and nail hole repair. Some products will even turn from pink to white letting you know it is dry.
Flexible Blade Putty Knives – You may want a couple sizes for different areas of application. A 2″ and 6″ should cover most cracks or nail holes.
Drop Cloths – You will always want to protect finished floors, paint is difficult to remove from some flooring surfaces, impossible from others.
Masker Tool – This tool can save time in your masking preparation. It allows you to apply tape and making paper at the same time.
Cleaning Products – Cleaning a dirty surface before painting may be one of the most important things you can do for your project. A dirty surface can make it difficult for paint to stick or give an uneven finish.
