For a flawless finish to any interior painting project, Purdy's Nylox™ brushes provide an ultra smooth painting stroke. Nylox brushes are designed for use with latex paints and are handcrafted with 100 percent nylon filaments from DuPont®.
Brush Type: - Flat or Angular Brushes: A flat brush is ideal for large, flat surfaces, while an angular brush can help with corners and edges. - Synthetic Bristles: For water-based paints (latex), synthetic bristles (like nylon or polyester) are best, as they maintain their shape and provide a smooth finish.
The two best paint rollers for a smooth finish is a High Density Foam Roller with a Rounded Edge and a Lint Free Low Nap Roller, but I will say that even though both of these are good rollers one wins the prize for the smoothest finish.
Paddle brushes are characterised by their broad, flat surface, which makes them ideal for detangling, smoothing out hair, and eliminating static electricity. They work well on all hair types, including long, straight, curly, coily, and thick hair.
Rough, textured surfaces such as stucco or brickwork require a stiffer, more durable brush, such as a Purdy Pro-Extra® or Chinex® Elite™.

Or, you can use additives like Floetrol or Penetrol to extend the open time without sacrificing durability. Meaning, these additives specifically help with greatly reducing the brush and roller marks.
Foam Brushes.
Their greatest selling point is they are inexpensive. But when it comes to applying a smooth coat of clear finish, such as polyurethane, a foam brush is not my first choice. Instead of bristles, it has a blade. The blunt sides leave two parallel ridges of finish, like a snowplow on the highway.
Walls, Wood, and Metal - Small 1/4″ roller covers or foam rollers will produce the smoothest finish. Light to Medium Textured Surfaces - Microfiber rollers are best. Smooth Surfaces - Use a white woven short nap roller for an ultra fine finish.
Purdy brushes are tapered at the end making it very easy to control where the paint goes. i loved painting with them! and one thing that always bothers me with other cheaper brushes, is how they shed bristles. Purdy brushes do not shed bristles.

There are a few ways to fix paint brush strokes. You can use a thinner to make the paint flow more smoothly. Use a liner brush and clean up the edges of your stroke. Also, you can use a dry brush or another type of brush with a smaller tip to blend in your strokes.
If you're painting a smooth surface, use a White China Bristle for a super-smooth finish. When painting a textured surface, a Black China Bristle will work best because it's slightly stiffer, more durable, and is excellent for high-productivity applications.
Purdy brushes are ideal for projects requiring a fine finish, such as cabinets and trim. Wooster brushes are best suited for large areas and rough surfaces where speed and paint pick-up are critical.
If I want a straighter version of a blowout, then I would definitely reach for the brush. The fact that it works well on large sections of hair without as much direct heat as a flat iron is a major plus for me – especially if I want to get my hair fairly straight in less time than I'd take to flat iron my hair.
Polyvine varnish brush is ideal when it comes to using either water based or oil based varnishes, this product has soft synthetic bristles which distribute evenly for a smooth finish. Light weight wooden handle makes it much easier to brush out streaks and create a thin film finish.
