Cheap paint tools are a waste of your money

When it comes time to paint, so many people will head to their local big box hardware store and fill up on supplies. As far as paint, most products sold today are of much better quality then in the recent past therefore you are already getting descent quality paint. Next step the paint tools & accessories. This is where so many people get cheap. They will buy the $2 brush and the 3 pack of roller covers for $3. This is a big mistake. The tools you use to paint with are not supposed to be disposable. Good quality brushes and roller covers will last many years if properly cleaned and stored.

I have painted for many years professionally and I spend very little on these paint tools & supplies. I do not buy cheap paint tools. I will spend $10 on a roller cover and be able to get 50 to 75 paint jobs with this roller cover. I still use the same paintbrushes from 5 years ago and they perform as if they were new.
