A new coat of paint will bring tired, cracked and peeling surfaces on window frames and doors back to life. And it can be a simple job as long as you have the right tools.

As usual, preparation is the key so you need to make sure you wipe down the surface with sugar soap and give it a light sand.

To prevent your brushes becoming caked with paint wash your brushes thoroughly, but the real tip is to rinse your new brush before you start. Dip it in water when using water based paints, or a solvent when using oil based paints. This tip is a lifeline for your brushes!

The Spirit Edger brush is perfect for cutting in around the edges as it has specially designed angled bristles. For flatter surfaces such a wall or window frame use the standard 50ml finishing brush. It’s amazing how enjoyable it is using a quality brush.

The benefits of using a Spirit brush include no annoying bristle loss, excellent paint pickup and release so you finish the job faster, perfect for acrylic and oil based paints and they really hold their shape so you have control of your paint strokes.

There is a brush style and size for all your painting needs and when the job is done simply rinse in either water or solvent and give them a final wash in warm soapy water. Shake out the excess water and lay it out flat to dry.

Selleys Spirit brushes are worth the investment because they last a lot longer and always give a perfect finish.
