you will need some big 'ol tarps. A smart brain and a good attitude always helps. You may need a camera to take pics of your work and the hot lassies walking around.

Don't forget lunch...but seriously, besides your basic hand tools, I'm assuming you will be working with other painters?

If so, see what works for them. Most guys are willing to talk shop and share a little knowlege. This way you get exactly what you need w/o buying tools you'll never use.
