Guide to Selecting the Appropriate Bristle Type for Painting Projects

1. Natural Bristle Brushes: These are made from animal hair and are best suited for oil-based paints. The naturally occurring split ends in these bristles help in better paint absorption and smooth release, enhancing oil paint applications. They are also durable against the solvents in oil paints.

   Varieties of Natural Bristle:

   • 100% Natural White Bristle
   • 100% Natural Black Bristle (the stiffest option)
   • 100% Natural Grey Bristle
   • Mixed Bristle with Polyester Filament (a cost-effective alternative)

2. Synthetic Bristle Brushes: Made from synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, these brushes are perfect for water-based paints like latex. Their fine fibers allow for an even and immaculate finish, and they are designed to not absorb water, preventing bristle swelling and loss of shape.

   Varieties of Synthetic Bristle:

   • 100% Polyester Bristle (options range from stiff to soft)
   • Nylon and Polyester Blend Bristle (Nylon being the softer component)
