Which brushes are best for chalk paint?


Let's clarify a bit about brushes. We have discovered through years of painting that all brushes are not created equal and different brush compositions can greatly affect the outcome of your project.

 Synthetic or man-made brush filaments such as our brushes here are great and affordable to use for detailed and smooth finishes with our chalk paint, acrylic paints and stains. The one on the right has an angled edge which makes it useful for cutting in and getting straight lines. They are relatively easy to look after being synthetic they seem to withstand more wear and tear than natural bristle brushes.

These are chalk paint brushour new top line Italian made brushes. They are hands down, the best brushes for any paint projects. They work beautifully with our Chalk paint, Wall paint, Enamel paint, Waxes andWood stains. They are a carefully crafted synthetic blend of material made to exacting quality standards. These brushes will last you a lifetime if they are treated well.

 

 

 


Bristle brushes are made from boar hairs which are strong and springy. The
bristles have natural split ends which increases the amount of paint they can hold. You can achieve lovely textured, rustic finishes with the bristle brushes as opposed to the more detailed smooth finish of our synthetic brushes. Because they hold more paint they noticeably speed up the painting process.NB: As they are a natural product you may get the odd bristle shedding in first uses.

 

We find our 30mm Italian brush the quickest way to apply our waxes, brush it on and buff it off. In our opinion, this method is so much easier than applying wax with a cloth or sponge.

 

 

Happy painting
