Buying the right paintbrushes for the job

IT may be tempting to pick up the cheapest painting rollers and brushes possible when you set about changing the colour scheme of your home.

But when you brag to friends that you got your paintbrush at a bargain price, don't be surprised if the colour on your walls isn't as even as you'd like it to be.

Buying a quality brush and suitable roller helps to achieve an impressive finish on any painting job. This is why decorators have no qualms about, ahem, splashing out on the best brushes.
