       If you are going to paint a tower, antenna or anything that has lots of
small surfaces, the best thing to use is a paint mitt. You just put it on, dip
it in the bucket and grab the surfaces with up/down or back/forth motions.
They're available from CESCO and other suppliers. Get several pairs and throw
them away when you're done.
