4 - Paint Brushes - The Home Depot

Question 1

Can using the wrong brush for my wall texture negatively affect the paint job?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Using the wrong brush can impact coverage, finish quality, and efficiency, resulting in poor paint distribution, visible streaks, missed areas, and more time and effort. A stiff or coarse brush can leave visible brush marks on smooth walls, while a thin, soft brush can leave uneven coverage on textured walls. For heavy texture or stucco walls, a standard wall brush can make the job slow and patchy. Choosing the right brush for your wall type promises a more even application and professional-looking result. We've got the selection of all wall types, rough, and semi-rough/rough brushes you need to achieve an optimal paint job.

Question 2

How do I choose the right size paint brush?

Accepted Answer

The right-sized paint brush for your project depends on the area you plan to cover. For large surfaces, including walls and ceilings, use a 3 to 4-inch flat brush for broad coverage. Switch to a smaller brush for trims and edges, preferably a 1 to 2-inch angled sash brush for precision cut-in work, and go even smaller for touch-ups and intricate areas.
