I have tried wooden palettes, paper plates, cups, and I always come back to these cheap little paint trays. They're perfect for small or large quantities of paint, and the middle is perfect for mixing colors. Easy clean-up for continued use!

Another item to not skimp on, is a cutting mat. You'll need a 36" cutting mat for large banners.

I have tried numerous white paints, and this is my favorite for the price! Unless I need something absolutely opaque, this paint only requires one coat for most of my projects. Dries a nice matte finish.
