Brushes and rollers 🖌
BEST mural brushes I have ever! Hold a good amount of paint and easy to clean. Crispy lines 👌 even on concrete bricks/blocks.
Paintbrushes - Zibra
Purdy ClearCut is what I've been using for the concrete mural! And I beat my brushes to death 🤣 how else do I fill all of the holes and bumps of the concrete?
Handcrafted Purdy® Paint Brushes
These are the rollers that fit right into the Purdy paint pails. I feel they are easier to use.
Woven-Pro 4" Rollers
Worked perfectly for getting cobwebs, grass, and dirt off the mural wall for prep. Used to brush off scaffolding and gets into the concrete cracks really well.
Utility Brush
Outdoor Mural Supplies
These do actually work! Will definitely keep you colder if you dont have access to shade. Or a way to make a make shift tent lol
Sukeen 4 Pack Cooling Towels (40"x ...
I used this power washer to remove old paint and debris from the concrete wall. Worked amazing and easy to use. Also connected the Stanley hose right up to this bad boy.

Purchased for my first mural. So far love the versatility! Its a 4-in-1 scaffolding, miter saw stand, storage rack and utility cart. Holds up to 1100lbs and extends to 6ft tall.
Scaffolding & Work Platforms
Went through a few of these while doing wall prep. Worked great for removing old paint. Purchased 2 while cleaning a 10x70 wall 🧱
Warner 3" Burn-Off Bent Scraper Stainless
Used to fill any patches and holes during preparation. Just add water! Mixed in a regular bucket with the mixing bit shown above
Mortar Mix
Get the knee pads, any kind will get the job done. If you do go for a heavy duty knee pad, sometimes they kill the back of my knees. I'll have to unstrap one of the straps.
Professional Protective Knee Pads for Work, Construction, ...
Used to mix the primer in the 5 gallon bucket. And mixed the wall mortar. Easy clean up. If you forgot to remove old paint from mixer, once completely dry will peel right off!

Check out the thumb hole 👍 Love these containers, keep paint usable for days. Easy to clean and stackable!
Shur-Line One Quart Thumb Pail
Holds an awesome amount of paint. One side of pail is flat for small brush rollers. Easy to clean!
Wooster Brush Quart Pail 8619 Pelican Gray
Amazing tape, depending on the job. Has not peeled my primer off thus far. But there are times where some of the paint seeps through.
FrogTape® Delicate Surface Painter's Tape
I know this can be controversial in the artist world but WOW is this game changing. I've been doing window murals for years the 'old fashion way' and the Meta Quest 3s really stepped my game up.
Meta Quest 3S: Next-Gen Virtual Reality Headset | Meta Store
The mural wall was primed in white primer. So the sun reflects right off and into my eyes. 🤣 These have definitely been helping thus far.
Milwaukee - Safety Glasses
Used to fill any holes inbetween concrete blocks. Anywhere water could get in. Now it can't 😝 Dry time was around 2-3 hours if I remember correctly.

I use the 1 pint or 1 quart containers. They keep paint wet and good for mixing colors together too!

On the mural there's a trout and this will fill any patterns and outlines perfectly!

Mural Clean Up
THE HOLY GRAIL. You know you leave paint brushes out! This stuff will take days old paint off your brush. Just let it soak and it goes right to work. I use it after painting to throughly clean all the gunk out of my favorite brushes.
Krud Kutter Brush-Wash Cleaner and Renewer
I really like the SCRUB Crocodile Cloth. The company also has a PAINT Crocodile Cloth too
Crocodile Cloth®
Used to clean up dirt and paint scraps from the ground outside. Light weight push broom.
Push Brooms
Used to prep the concrete wall for my mural. And to fill water buckets with for brush cleaning. About the same price as a Stanley water bottle 😝
Stanley Garden: HOSES
Always good to have something down to save from paint drips. It keeps everything looking professional. They can move around so I've duct taped them to the ground
