Personally, I use Purdy's XL Dale (about $12 at HD). Love that line, easy to hold and maneuver, has served me well with CC and all paints. Kept clean, it will last through many, many jobs. I keep an angle and a flat on hand all the time. Be sure to try holding them as if you were painting, see how it feels to you. There is another Purdy style HD carries that I can't even comfortably hold and 'air' paint in the store, LOL!

Also, Michael recommended a brush to me for self-leveling enamels, but I haven't had opportunity arise yet to try it. I saved the name but can't readily find it this morning. (I do remember it started with an "E". Maybe he'll see this and offer his .02 ;)

I use the GenX Chinex Brush for all Waterborne paints like CC, Impervo, Muralo, Pro Classic.

If you can't find a GenX, second best is the Wooster Advantage Brush which is synthetic and natural bristle.

Thank you guys so very much!

Michael, BTW, I read "cover-to-cover" your instructions how to paint cabinets but you listed several brushes there and I could not figure out which worked best for acrylic - all this stuff is truly like a 'rocket science' to me.

eleena,

I don't use alkyd or oil paints so all the brushes listed work with acrylic enamels.
