What's everyone like for paint bushes ? Painting the boat and I'm getting sick of trying to get the quality they want with these cheap chip brushes. Found some nice ones that I'm hording ( but the other guys keep finding them and messing them up smirk ) , and I'll tell you , world of difference there like woodster or something can't read the names anymore on them ,but I decided to just buy some and get a lil lock box when I go home . So , suggestions?

for a good job use camel hair brushes. alittle pricey but good. clean them when you are done they will last along time.

Chip brushes are for stain samples and BBQ sauce

To be thrown away after a few minutes of use

Wooster makes decent brushes
Purdy - good
Corona - good

Chip brush not good

What AG said. And if you are painting a fiberglass boat, I would assume you are using epoxy. That would actually dissolve those brushes you showed in your picture.
If you are using oil-based enamel, (or epoxy), you want a natural bristle brush.
If water-based enamel, you want synthetic bristles.
DO NOT USE LATEX on a boat, period.


Just doing what I want now.

As AG and others above have said. Wooster and Purdy are my personal favorites for common latex and oil based paints. I usually prefer the soft bristle Purdy's for most of my projects.

I've been trying explain this to the wheel house guys but ...yeah , it's a paint brush , use it , it'll work...then I get a 10min critique on how crappy it looks . Dosnt help didn't seem the idea of taking. Care of brushes really resonates so tired I'm just buying my own and keeping them locked up tight
