Quality paints perform better for a longer period of time. They won‘t yellow; are easier to wash; are stainâ€" and dirtâ€"resistant; and won‘t show unsightly brush marks. They tend to go on more readily, and hide the surface better than ordinary paints. With the better performance you‘ll get from using top quality paints, you won‘t have to repaint as often. That means you‘ll get more for your money in terms of years of service. Quality paint brushes are important Experts agree that for best home painting results, you should pay a little more to get a top quality paint. But it is also important to use top quality application tools â€" high quality brushes, rollers and other accessories â€" to get a job that not only looks great, but will be longâ€" lasting, too. Here are some tips on what to buy and what to avoid: * Since natural bristles tend to absorb water and swell, be sure to use synthetic bristle brushes to apply waterâ€"based latex paint. Polyester brushes are best. They will maintain the proper stiffness and keep their shape regardless of the amount of water and humidity they are exposed to. * For the same reasons, if you are using rollers, be sure to select those that have synthetic covers when painting with a latex or waterâ€"based product. * Regardless of the type of brush you select, it should be a high qualâ€" ity product to ensure even and effortless application of the paint. Before purchasing your brushes, test them for springiness. Be sure they don‘t fan too much or have bristle gaps or loosely held bristles. * A good brush is one that is well balanced, will hold a lot of paint and will apply the paint evenâ€" ly. Look for brushes that have tightâ€" ly packed bristles.
