Painting Check List

[CharlieBrownGirl]

To the wonderful and knowledgeable Ladies out there...
We're about to embark on painting out our house, I was going to go to Bunnings this afternoon for some supplies.
Can anyone suggest any essential items I'll need?
Many Thanks,
CBG

Sugar soap and rubber gloves. Scourer.
Filler - you can get it already mixed in the tubes.
Fine grade sandpaper

Don't make a move until your surfaces are perfect as can be

Most paints are water based now - don't do tooooo overboard on rollers but for the love of all things beautiful don't go the cheap ones or you will be picking fluff off the painted walls all day.

There is a great paint-roller-washer thingo at bunnings, I haven't tried it yet but it looks good. You put the roller in the plastic and the hose at the other end and it seems to clean with minimal water.

I'll pm you some other stuff...
