Painting Accessories

Painting accessories support preparation, mixing, masking, dispensing and cleaning and should match paint type and project size.

Choose tools that prevent mistakes

Measuring cups and pipettes help with repeatable mixing, painter's tape provides controlled edges and stirring or mixing tools prevent poorly distributed pigments. Check material resistance: not every plastic container or foam tool tolerates solvents or aggressive mediums.

Keep clean and dirty materials separate

Use separate tools for water-based and solvent-based products and label mixing ratios when a recipe is needed again later. Cover work surfaces, collect cleaning water or solvent responsibly and do not use artist's materials with utensils that are subsequently intended for food.
