PaintWell increased its Industrial Paints offering with the acquisition of Promain UK Limited, the preferred UK distributor for many of the world’s leading paint and surface coatings manufacturers. There are several types of bristles to choose from, plus foam paint brushes. The right choice mostly depends on the type of paint you are using.

We recommend the Monarch Elite Paint Brush! They are hand chiselled to help you get right into the corners of the room. Made from a combination of Dupont™ Chinex® and Orel® Polyester, for long-lasting firmness. Flat brushes, often called "wall brushes," have a flat, even edge. Use a flat brush for painting any large, flat surface, such as a wall, door, stretch of fence, or large flat piece of furniture. Nylon/polyester blends are the most popular choice for the average DIYer, and these are the brushes often labeled as all-purpose. They combine the smoothness of nylon with the slight stiffness of polyester for a sturdy brush that lays down a smooth, even finish. These blended brushes are ideal for water-based paints, but most can also be used with oil-based products. Now, rinse the paint brush bristles thoroughly under running warm water. Hold the brush with the bristles facing down to prevent water from running underneath the ferrule.

Brushes with 3-inch to 4-inch bristles are your workhorses for painting large, flat surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, floors, fences, or doors. This 2-inch sash brush has nylon/polyester bristles that handle any type of paint, stain, or finish, producing a smooth coat of paint, even over rough surfaces. But what really sets the Shortcut apart from other paint brushes is its short, stubby handle. At only around 2 inches in length, and with a rubbery easy-to-grip coating, the handle fits securely within your grip, making it very easy to control the brush movements precisely. Many painters today are reaching for paints with low or no VOCs (volatile organic compounds). While low-VOC paints are friendlier to the environment and produce far less smelly fumes than older types of paints, they also dry much faster, which can leave streaked or blotchy results, especially if you are new to DIY painting. However, the Wooster Chinex FTP brushes are specifically designed to handle paints with low or no VOCs, thanks to the very stiff bristles with full, soft tips. This decreases "drag" on the brush, leaving a clean, even line of paint. We pride ourselves on helping you find exactly what you need for your unique project.

If you want an all-purpose, excellent-quality paint brush that can handle both water-based and oil-based products, you can't go wrong with the Purdy XL Sprig. Its nylon/polyester bristles lay down a smooth, even coat of paint on walls, furniture, trim, and just about any other surface you might want to paint. But if you need a brush specifically for painting trim and other detailed work, the Wooster Silver Tip Sash Brush is the best choice. What to Look for in a Paint Brush Bristle Type Polyester bristles are somewhat stiff, and they're best suited to painting exterior walls and other outdoor surfaces. These brushes are best with latex paint, but they can be used with oil-based paints, stains, lacquers, and shellacs, as well. If you want the paint to slide off the brush in an eloquent and tidy manner we recommend this brush with a premium blend of Satin-Edge Nylon (Tynex®) and Orel® Polyester.
