Learn more about the three main reasons why using a liner is essential for any professional painter: saving time, improving paint quality and being better for the environment.
Time -saving: save 10 minutes or more on cleaning
One of the most obvious advantages of using a liner in a paint bucket is the significant time savings. Cleaning a paint bucket properly takes a lot of time. Under the tap is not done, and removing the very last flake after drying soon takes you 10 minutes, and often more. This is time better spent!
With a liner, you are much faster. After painting, pour the excess paint from the liner back into your paint can or bucket. With the help of your brush, you empty the liner in just one minute. Then let the liner dry.
You can immediately use your paint bucket again with a new liner or a previously used liner whose paint has dried. A liner can be used several times, even with a different colour.
Improve quality: avoid flaking in your paint
Another important reason to use a liner is to prevent flaking in your paint. GO!PAINT’s ultra-thin liners are made of 100% recycled PET plastic, where the paint dries and adheres better compared to a PP bucket.
In addition, the steep rolling surface ensures that the paint slides down faster and no sheets or hard particles get into your paint, as is more common with a paint rack. In short, you keep the quality of the paint high for a nicer result.
Cleaner: no paint flushing down the drain and still a clean bucket
Besides the practical benefits, using a liner also offers environmentally friendly advantages. All our liners are made of 100% recycled plastic, helping to reduce waste and promote sustainability in the painting industry.
After the paint in the liner has dried, it can be reused up to four times, even with different types of paint. This not only reduces waste, but also saves costs for new liners. If you eventually want to dispose of the liner, just crumple the liner with dried paint and throw it away with the residual waste.
Never flush paint down the sink! When water-based paint comes into contact with water, it increasingly dilutes and creates micro- and even nanoplastics. Very small plastic particles that cannot be filtered out of the water. By using liners, you prevent microplastics from spreading into drinking water and contribute to a cleaner environment.
What liners are available and where to buy them?
Liners are available in all shapes and sizes from professional paint wholesalers and DIY stores. We have perfectly fitting liners for all our paint buckets and trays, often sold in sets of 3 or 5.
