Touch-Up Brushes for Solvent-Based Paint and Coatings
Brushes have natural bristles, which are better for oil- and solvent-based paint and coatings than synthetic bristles. The smallest brushes we sell, use these for precision applications.
Flat brushes cover flat, even surfaces quickly. Round brushes won’t splay on round and contoured surfaces for an even coat. Fan brushes are useful for smoothing, blending, and creating textures.
Brushes with soft bristles leave fewer brush marks for a smooth finish. They’re often used with high-gloss paint and coatings. Brushes with medium bristles balance making sharp edges with creating a smooth finish. Brushes with stiff bristles make a sharp edge and can be used with thicker paint and coatings than brushes with soft bristles can.

Pencil-Grip Flat Brushes for Solvent-Based Paint and Coatings
These brushes have a round, tapered handle that can be held like a pencil for superior control while edging. Their flat shape is best for painting flat, even surfaces. They’re made with natural bristles, which are better for oil- and solvent-based paint and coatings than synthetic bristles. Bristles are stiff near the base for creating a sharp edge and soft at the tip to reduce brush marks for a smooth finish.

Round Brushes for Solvent-Based Paint and Coatings
These brushes have a rounded shape that won’t splay on round surfaces, such as pipes or railing, so they provide an even coat. They’re also often used for edging on even surfaces. They’re made with natural bristles, which are better for oil- and solvent-based paint and coatings than synthetic bristles. The bristles are stiff near the base for creating a sharp edge and soft at the tip to reduce brush marks for a smooth finish.
Brush Combs
Thoroughly clean your paint brushes to make them last longer. These combs have stainless steel tines to separate bristles, so you can clean deep inside the brush and set the bristles straight before painting and after cleaning. The brass bristles remove thickened paint from the brush's bristles and handle.
