Here are a few pieces you should invest in to make sure you get the best bang for your buck when it comes to painting:

Krud Cutter Original All-Purpose Cleaner: This is a nontoxic cleaning agent that’s great for spot cleaning before, during, and after you painting project. It a great alternative to TSP, which is a harsher chemical cleaning agent often used to clean/prep for painting to remove dirt and grease.

Sponge and bucket: There will be plenty of cleaning before, during, and after your painting project. Having a sponge dedicated to a painting project is a great idea to help you keep things clean and organized as you work.

Visor: You put this along the edge of your paint can and it prevents dripping. And it’s only $0.99! You’ll save more than your money’s worth in paint that doesn’t end up dripping off the side of your paint can.

Angled sash brush: This allows you to cut in at an angle. It’s great for edge work and making sure you don’t paint your crown moulding the same color as your walls.

Telescoping extension pole: This saves your back. It lets you get really high and really low and it lasts for years.
Painters tape: This tape has adhesive on the edge and masking trim catches drips. You will also need the standard blue painters tape.

Gloves: Keep your hands clean as you work.

Canvas drop cloth: We used a plastic drop cloth this time, but in general, a canvas drop cloth is a great option because you can reuse it.

Roller cover: Splurge—get a quality roller cover and frame. This helps you distribute paint evenly over the surface. Cheap roller covers splatter paint as you use them. For smooth to semi-smooth surfaces, you should choose a ⅜” nap roller cover. Look for the "3/8-inch" on the label. Use a thicker nap roller cover for stucco surfaces. If you use a thick roller cover on a smooth surface, the result will be sloppy.
