I've been doing it for a living for over 41 years now. I did learn the
trade well over the years and I am one of the "high priced" painters.
That said, it's no big deal to me...I could have done better with my
career. I'll do better in my next life. heheh I can and will offer a
decent opinion of what to do for anyone that asks.

The drill attachment for mixing paint will certainly work but too much
trouble and time for me. We never use one and we do have better
methods. Using a wooden paddle and boxing is the normal way. The
paint store shakers do a decent job but still they don't mix it all
that well. You should still mix those a little better before starting.
