First rule is to choose high quality accessories. Better quality translates to better results, and less work for you. Higher quality accessories can hold more paint, deliver a smoother application and reduce splattering.
There are a variety of sizes available. So think about the size of the job because using the wrong one will be a slow and messy process.
Paint brushes come in sizes 12mm to 100mm and all have different purposes.
for small jobs and touch-up work such as chairs and timber trim
suitable for furniture, small panels, window frames, trellis, mouldings, shutters and downpipes
for small to medium size work such as doors, screens, table tops, railings and cabinets
handy size for outdoor furniture, cupboards, gutters, eaves and doors
for medium to large areas such as fence posts and rails, floor boards, steps, skirtings and fascia&#;s
for all large areas such as walls, floors, ceilings, roofs and fences
There are also brushes designed for specific jobs like cutter brushes, which are ideal for cutting in for feature walls, and door and window frames. The tapered edged tip makes accurate painting easy and a longer handle can help control the stroke and precision of the paint.
A key point to think about is the paint you&#;ll be using. Oil-based paints, primers and varnishes are best with a solid, medium length bristle brush. With Acrylic paints you should choose a long bristle brush, ideally with a synthetic bristle as they will give a smoother finish.
If you&#;re staining rough sawn timber, use a short bristle brush. This works best for making sure the stain gets in all the cracks.
When you&#;re painting a large surface, rollers can make light and quick work. Consideration should be given to the surface and finish required when selecting a roller. Generally, the best rule to apply to most painting jobs is glossier paints and smoother surfaces demand a shorter pile.
Rollers come in 3 different sizes. A short roller is generally 5-8mm thick and is best with glossy paint. It doesn&#;t hold as much paint but it delivers a smoother finish. A medium or all-purpose roller is 8-12mm thick. It can be used with any paint and produces a soft clean finish on smooth and semi smooth surfaces. Medium rollers are most suitable for water based paints on surfaces such as walls and ceilings.
On the other hand, large rollers are 20-32mm thick. They are best used on semi rough to rough surfaces such as brick work or masonry. Large rollers have exceptional paint holding capacity ideal for working into damaged or textured surfaces to ensure you get good coverage. The general rule is that greater the irregularities, longer the pile you need.
The thickness, the material used and the quality of the roller should be taken into consideration when choosing a roller. Roller sleeves are available in a range of materials. Furthermore, different materials should be used with different paints and on different surfaces.
Woven Polyester: suitable for use with ALL paints including full gloss enamels
Knitted Polyester: more suitable for use with water based paints on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as wall boards and cement render
Lambswool: generally used on rougher surfaces such as cement render and brickwork because of the longer pile height

In general, there are two types of brush bristles: natural and synthetic. Natural bristles are made of animal hairs, making it suitable for oil-based paints. Natural-bristle brushes, such as Nippon Paint Superior Paint Brush, have bristles with split ends to hold more paint and give your paint job a sleek finish.

Synthetic bristles are usually made of polyester. Synthetic-bristle brushes are best used for latex paints as they can hold their shape and stiffness better when applying paint.
A combination of both natural and synthetic bristles gives you a blended-bristle made of both nylon and polyester. The sturdiness of nylon and polyester&#;s ability to retain shape make for a well-rounded and highly durable brush. Like polyester brushes, these brushes are great for latex paints on almost all surfaces.

While choosing a brush size seems simple enough, many people may still get it wrong. Choosing a brush size requires more thought than simply grabbing the first brush you see. Apart from considering the size of the surface that you want to paint, you also need to think about the complexity of details that you will be applying to your painting surface. Bigger doesn&#;t always mean better. Always pick a brush that is slightly smaller than your painting surface. Use a smaller brush for intricate details so that you can coat trims evenly. Here are some points of comparison:
&#; 1 &#; 2 inch: window and small trims
&#; 3 inch: doors and shelves
&#; 4 inch: large smooth surface

Different bristle shapes make for different painting results. For a flat, smooth surface, a square trim brush will work best as its straight cut will help to paint your surface evenly. When painting the edges of walls and windows, an angled brush will come in handy. If you need to paint a smaller area, a chisel trim brush is your best bet. It comes with a flat, narrow head, hence its name. This shape helps to make a straight line on the edges and corners of the walls.

Considering the bristle material, brush size and bristle shape is essential in picking the right paint brush for your next DIY project. Nevertheless, you need to have an idea of the type of paint and surface you will be using even before selecting the brush. Do not use one brush for multiple types of paint and facades.
The quality of your brush also determines the result of your paint job. If you want your brushes to last longer, invest in several brushes of high quality.
