The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television Demonstrates the Seven Essential Tools to Cut Painting Time

Putting off that painting job?  If you think it’s too time consuming, you’re living in the past! An array of new tools makes this home improvement project fast and easy! The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television welcomes Shannon Kaye, interior designer and consultant for SHUR-LINE® Painting Tools, who showcases the seven essential tools for a successful paint job. The segment airs in July.

 

“So many people are afraid to begin a painting project,” explains Kaye. “But a new coat gives a room a fresh modern ambiance.  The key to success is realizing that the proper tools will make the job easy and rewarding.”

 

Before the project begins, Kaye walks viewers through the organization and preparation steps, and then she demonstrates some common painting situations. She shows how painting tools from SHUR-LINE make the painting process easier and faster.

 

For ceilings and large wall areas she showcases the shed-resistant SHUR-LINE roller covers, coated with Teflon® surface protector, which provide up to 30% faster project speed than standard rollers. She then demonstrates that when painting small areas, SHUR-LINE brushes, also coated with Teflon® surface protector, increase project speed, by providing one-coat coverage and easy clean-up.

 

Other helpful products Kaye introduces include SHUR-LINE’s Easy Release Roller Frame and Easy Reach Pole—which eliminates the need for a ladder. For narrow places and hallways, the Twist and Reach pole proves invaluable as it retracts and extends to the perfect length. The Edge Like a Pro™ painting tool eliminates the need for masking tape, and the Paint Tray with Teflon® surface protector allows you to let paint dry in the tray and peel it off for easy cleanup.

 

“It’s easy when you know how,” says Doug Campbell, Executive Vice President of Programming, BrandStar Entertainment, the producers of The Balancing Act. “And now thanks to Shannon’s tips and SHUR-LINE painting tools, we’ve all learned that painting can be a simple and exciting project.”
