Hey there, Reclaimer!
Today, I am sharing the 5 MUST HAVE supplies every furniture painter needs for their toolbox. These are all items we swear by here at the studio and are guaranteed to be well loved additions for your reclaiming projects!
1. A Good Quality and Versatile Paint Brush

A good quality paint brush can make or break any furniture painting experience…that’s why we LOVE the Mango Paint Ultra Soft Brush collection.
These synthetic bristle brushes provide a super smooth finish and leave virtually no brush strokes when applying paint or Table Top Finish.
With a 2”, 3” and 4” brush available, you’ll have one to suit every size painting project you have on your list!
2. An Apron To Get Messy

You’ll always be prepared for when that creative urge strikes…and you’ll find that over time, these will become a work of art themselves!
3. A Micro Fibre Paint Roller

Ok, seriously—this is our FAVOURITE tool!
For the smoothest and most flawless finish, a micro fibre roller is your best friend! Instead of using a brush to paint all your large flat areas…ROLL ‘EM!
4. Flexible Sanding Sponges

The Mango Paint Sanding Sponges are an absolute LIFESAVER when it comes to prepping and distressing your furniture!
Flexible, bendable & super long lasting—you’ll wish you had switched from flat sand paper sooner!
5. A Handy Paint Can Opener
Flat key ring style Mango Paint Can Opener
The days of using a spoon or screw driver to open your paint cans are OVER! I was totally guilty of this and I’m here to say that you deserve an upgrade, honey.
As we always say, “work smarter, not harder!”
So, which of these handy tools will you be adding to your toolbox first!?
Happy Painting
