A DIY paint job can look just as good as a professional one... the difference is usually just the tools. I’ve been painting for over 20 years (my college job was painting the exterior of condos!) and in my current house I’ve tackled walls, trim, ceilings, cabinets, you name it. The number one thing I see people get wrong isn’t their technique, it’s that they’re doing every single job with the same basic brush. Here’s my roster and what I use each tool for: A paint edger for crisp lines with no tape. I find these best for vertical surfaces...ceilings were a little tough to get the pressure right. A sprayer for that ultra smooth, professional finish. I used mine for my kitchen cabinets as well as my dentil crown molding which was very detailed. A lidded paint cup so you can pick up where you left off without cleaning everything out. Usually most projects require 2 coats and a days worth of drying time. These have been so handy! And paint pens for the touch-ups that would otherwise require breaking out the whole setup again. These aren’t fancy, they’re just the right tools for the right job.
