My Project Assistant is here to simplify the painting process by helping you select the right tools for the job, determining how much paint you need and providing a printable list so you won't forget something important while at the home center or hardware store. LET'S GET STARTED: Tell us which room you are painting and we'll make some suggestions on the tools you will need.
Let's assess the type and condition of your walls to find out exactly which products you'll need to buy. The necessity for some items will be determined by your answers to the following questions. Other essential items are usually needed for any interior painting project.
Answer these simple questions to add the proper products to your checklist.
In this section, answer a few additional questions about your room, and we'll calculate how much paint you'll need for walls and trim.
Use the calculator below to determine the amount of paint you'll need.
Are you painting the doors?*
Are you painting the ceiling?*
As you consider your product choices for your project, also consider how you will clean up and store those products when you're finished. Answer these questions to help determine which clean-up products to have on hand.
CURRENT PROJECT: Now we can generate a list of items you'll need to buy from your local home center or hardware store. Be sure to check supplies you may already have on hand. Click one of the options below to print, e-mail or save your list.
