What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Montana Cans Spray Paint Set (6-pack)
RequiredMontana Gold and Montana Black are the industry standard for mural work — consistent pressure, precise caps, and fade-resistant pigments built for outdoor longevity.
Wide House-Painting Brush Set and Exterior Latex Paint (quarts)
RequiredLarge brushes and exterior latex fill in backgrounds and block in shapes far faster than spray alone. Exterior grade holds up to Utah sun and temperature swings.
Scaffolding Step Ladder (6-foot, lightweight)
Working above head height is unavoidable on any real wall. A stable 6-foot aluminum ladder is the minimum safe equipment for painting anything over 8 feet tall.
