Painting: Tips for the right material

If you want to work with varnishes, you usually use a brush. Our elegant MissPompadour brushes with their bevelled soft bristles are particularly suitable for creating an even surface. They not only allow you to reach hidden areas, but also work without leaving any brush marks. The dreaded paint noses are also a thing of the past. With these brushes, you simply get perfect painting results. They come from a brush manufacturer in Germany

MissPompadour also offers a special brush soap for cleaning these high-quality brushes. Because with good care, you have found your brush for life with our fine brushes

However, if you want to work on larger areas, you can also work wonderfully with a paint roller. The handle and paint roller are sold separately. The paint roller is also ideal for applying a primer to the surface before applying paint. Or to seal particularly hard-wearing surfaces after painting

The paint tray! made of compostable material, which you can only find at MissPompadour, makes your work much easier. Our The paint tray! is not only lightweight, but also has a compartment for holding paint and various compartments where you can place brushes and rollers when applying paint

If you have corners and edges that you want to mask off, use masking tape. MissPompadour Paints do not splatter, but of course it is still advisable to place masking tape under your workpiece.

The right tools for every project

Painting walls: Paint roller & co. for a perfect coat of paint

To paint walls and ceilings, you need a paint roller and the matching handle. At MissPompadour, the paint roller and handle can be ordered separately, as you often need several rollers for one project. However, the washed roller usually doesn't dry as quickly. The handle, on the other hand, is made from recycled plastic and can be used again and again. It goes without saying that handles and Rollerrs are made in Germany

Incidentally, we recommend that you do not use too large a roller for our wall paints. The high-quality MissPompadour Paints have a rather thick consistency (which is why they do not splatter or spill) and are therefore somewhat heavier than other wall paints. It is therefore better to use a narrower paint roller in a smaller size (18cm) to make your work easier

Of course, you will also need a paint tray for wall paint, into which you transfer paint from the paint bucket. It is ideal for holding the paint and for wiping the paint roller before applying the paint. This also prevents the paint in the tin from becoming contaminated.

In addition to a paint roller, you also need a brush to work on walls. You can use it to reach hard-to-reach places, corners and edges when painting. The pink brushes from MissPompadour are extra light and ergonomically designed so that you can paint effortlessly!

Use masking tape to tape the edges of your accent wall. If you need markings for this, measure with a folding rule and mark with a soft pencil.

Chalk paint: Which roller and tools?

If you use chalk paint as a wall paint, you can use the same tools on the wall and ceiling as with any other emulsion paint. Use paint rollers and brushes on the wall as you would with normal wall emulsion

If you want to work with chalk varnish, you will need brushes and varnish rollers for varnishing as with any other varnish

The painting tools basics

It doesn't matter what you want to paint. Whether you want to paint a wall with wall emulsion or a cabinet with varnish, whether you want to work on tiles or give the fence a new colour with varnishes or stains - you can never achieve a perfect painting result without some tools

You will certainly always need a folding rule or a tape measure to determine the length, height and width of the room or object you are working on and to calculate the amount of paint you need

Even a professional painter cannot work without good adhesive tape and protective plastic drop cloth. A piece of painter's fleece is also useful for protecting the floor. If you want to achieve straight, horizontal or vertical lines, you will need a spirit level and a soft pencil. A wet cloth is also helpful to remove any paint stains before the paint has dried.
