Buyer’s Guide

Before making a decision on what type of painting station to buy, it’s important that you go through this buyer’s guide.

1. Painting Station Assembly

Most painting stations come unassembled. This implies that you will have to assemble them on your own. This should not make you worry much. The assembly process is easy and you will usually find an assembly manual inside the package which came with the product.

2. The Reaper Paints

Painting stations support different bottle sizes. If you are planning to include reaper paints in your painting station, go for those painting stations which have bottle sizes of at least 23 mm in diameter.

3. The Color of the Wood

You will find most painting stations in their default wood color. But depending on your preferences you will be at liberty to paint different colors on different parts of the painting station. Painting white on the base could help you a bit since the white color reflects light more than other colors.

4. The Base Structure

You must be careful with your base structure. If so much liquid gets to this board, it will over time waft and lose its smooth layout. Therefore, minimize the amount of paint which gets into this part for a longer useful service.

Conclusion

Not every painting station will meet all your needs. Whenever choosing a painting station, evaluate your preferences, your painting goals, and the features which come with such a painting station. Your budget will also dictate the kind of product which you purchase. Always go for those painting stations which have great features but still have a reasonable price.
