I recently was introduced to a COOL NEW PAINTING TOOL. I bought it at www.paintbeltpro.com (distributor name.) It's called the BELT BUCKET and is a small paint bucket that you wear on a tool belt around your waist. It holds a good amount of paint and has a clip that you can keep your paint brush clipped into while you're going up and down your ladder (hands free for safelyholding on.) You can also use a 4" roller with the bucket which has a roller grid inside of it. I initially began using this bucket for cutting in walls before I rolled the wall, and smaller touch up jobs. I've since realized that this thing works great for rolling trim (inside/outside), faux painting walls, and just about any other paint project you tackle! They have liners and lids and other items that will help make your project easier and less messy! PLUS THEY SELL THEM IN PINK, SWEET!!! I'll try to attach a photo of one. Hope this helps you ladies with your painting projects!!
