All you need to paint with less mess is a bucket!

Simply place your paint tin inside the bucket and all drips and spills will be contained. Keep a damp tea towel handy so you can quickly wipe up any rogue paint flecks.

You can use your mop bucket or head to the local hardware store and buy a new bucket for under $10.
