Paint Supplies

If you’re taking a break between coats, there’s no need to wash your brushes and rollers every few hours. We recommend wrapping your wet tools tightly in plastic wrap or placing them in a sealed freezer bag to keep the air out. For the paint cans themselves, always wipe the “well” or rim of the can before hammering the lid back on; dried bits of paint in the rim will prevent a true airtight seal. To ensure your leftover Paint Supplies stay fresh for the next project, store the cans upside down for a few seconds after sealing them to let the paint create its own permanent gasket. This simple step stops skin from forming on the surface and keeps your colors ready for touch-ups.

Getting a professional finish starts with a complete kit, not just a gallon of color. You’ll need a high-quality 2.5-inch angled sash brush for “cutting in” around the edges and a sturdy roller frame with a 3/8-inch nap cover for the main walls. Don’t forget a sturdy paint tray and a set of disposable liners to make cleanup a breeze. We also suggest picking up an extension pole, which saves your back and ensures even pressure as you move from floor to ceiling. Having these essential Paint Supplies on hand before you open the first can prevents those mid-project interruptions that lead to uneven drying lines and extra work.
