When you’re putting together a set of painting tools, there are a few essentials items you should have. In order to prepare surfaces for painting, you’re going to need primer, patching compound, a putty knife, and gloves. Patching compound is used to repair any holes or imperfections that may be on the surface, and the putty knife is used to apply the compound. You also want to include a sander in order to smooth out the compound. The primer is used to allow the paint to stick, and makes the paint look much better.
Next you’ll need paint brushes, rollers, a paint pot, and roller tray. Some people make the mistake of using a paintbrush when they should be using a roller. Rollers help to cover more area, if you’re painting something like a large wall, and can practically cut your painting time in half.
All paint brushes and rollers aren’t made equal. With brushes, there are those with synthetic or natural bristles. If you’re painting with latex paint, you may want to consider using a synthetic brush. If you’re staining or painting with oil based paint, you should consider using a natural bristle brush. When it comes to rollers, you should consider the length of the roller’s naps. Longer naps are used for applying texture to a surface. If you’re looking for smoother surface, you should probably use a roller with much shorter naps.
These are just a few of the basic supplies you’ll need to get started. There are a number of other products you’ll want to add to your kit. Take a trip to your local hardware store and find a few other essential tools you may be able to use.
