How to get the best results from your Coral Paint Brushes
Taking a few easy brush-care steps before, during and after use will extend brush lifespan and ensure optimum performance. We’ve shared some useful tips to help you achieve impressive results every time.
Q: How should I prepare my paint brush before use?
A: Before first use, pre-wash and comb the brush to remove any debris. For best results on every use, pre-wet the brush with a suitable thinner and remove excess for a slightly damp, primed state that will accept the most paint. Avoid using water-based and solvent-based coatings with the same brush. Always refer to the coating manufacturer’s recommendations before starting application.
Q: What surface preparation is needed before painting?
A: If required, use a scraper or sandpaper to ensure all surfaces to be painted are free from loose or flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler or sealant and sand down before wiping the area clean. Before painting, ensure surfaces are free from dust and dirt; wiping or washing them with sugar soap and water works well.
Q: What’s the most effective application method for painting a neat edge line (‘cutting in’)?
A: Dip the brush into the paint around a third of the way down the filaments to prevent overloading, then tap gently against the side of the paint container to remove excess. About an inch away from the area you want to cut in to, start at the top and work down, holding the paintbrush like a pencil so that it is parallel to the edge. Gently steer your brush towards the corner, using light, even strokes as you carefully follow the direction of the line, working back into the wet edge.
Q: What’s the best application method on larger surfaces?
A: For painting a large area by brush, work in areas of about 50x50cm, applying the paint in horizontal strokes to evenly distribute the paint, then finishing off with light vertical strokes in the same direction.
Q: What’s the best way to clean my paint brush after use?
A: First, remove excess paint from the tool, then wash with a suitable thinner. For water-based coatings, use water. For solvent-based coatings, use white spirit. Work into the base of the bristles to remove all paint then rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel. Never soak, use hot water, or apply direct heat to brushes. Comb to shape and hang dry naturally.
Q: How should I store paint brushes during and after use to prolong their lifespan?
A: To prevent dry-out and avoid dust and dirt entering the paint during short breaks in painting or overnight on longer projects, protect paintbrushes with an airtight cover like Coral’s Seal & Save Storage Wrappers, which fit mist brushes up to 4” wide and keep painting tools fresh for up to 3 weeks! Once your project is complete, store brushes in a cover or original packaging in a dry, dust-free place, to keep them in top condition for future use.
Q: Are there any time-saving tips to speed up my project?
A: Use Coral Paintwiz Scuttle and Kettle Liners in your paint container or tray to avoid the hassle and mess of washing out your paint containers daily or when switching paint colours. To prevent paint dry-out during breaks, simply tie the drawstrings to keep paint fresh.

Genuinely excellent paint brushes. Bought them pretty much as disposable, but actually they are really good! Not a single bristle dropped yet and excellent paint holding.
Well worth the money.
These are great my paintings a lot straight no bristles falling out easy to clean absolutely brillia
These are quality brushes. No loss of bristles. Easy to clean and dry. Flaxible handle making it a really smooth finish!
Absolutely fantastic. They glide over the paint…..cutting in is perfect! Retain shape and literally no hair loss. I like them so much I’m actually going to wash these and use again (rather than my usual throw after every use). I highly recommend these brushes
These brushes are wonderful with solvent paint and I am on my third or fourth pack as I am decorating the whole house. However they do not seem to like water based paint as they clog up quickly
These paint brushes are excellent value for money and easy to clean. Using them for chalk painting furniture and I’m very happy with the results.
Used these to re-paint my desk and walls and I absolutely love them! They’re such high quality and also great value for money. Would highly recommend especially since it comes in a lot of sizes.
For the price I was a little reluctant to use on a job. But I thought I’d give them a go after reading some reviews. I was relatively happy with the brush quality when using them for painting walls with emulation. But when it came to glossing they are amazing! Really good quality brushes for especially for glossing.
its perfect for painting but one hair fell of the brush but you should 98% buy it.
Very good brushes. Used yo paint wooden fences and easy to useno hair malfunction. Good price.
Well packed would recommend.
I love this set of brushes, first of all fantastic value for money, No bristles falling out, cuts in perfectly with any size, easy to clean, rubber handles make it feel nice to use. I will be throwing away all my old brushes and using this make from now on.
Good well made brushes easy to use and no bristles lost as with some other brushes also the handles were easier to use without rubbing the inside of your fingers. Best brushes I have used and I have used many different types
Best paint brushes I have had an I’m a painter and decorator. Excellent finish, perfect for straight line cutting in. Will be buying tons more. Easy to clean and so far no bristles have fallen out or got mishappened.
most brushes are advertised as suitable for varnish but quickly ended up leaving a mohair finish on the item – not these ; good product, good value and excellent seller (these arrived early)
These brushes are brilliant , so comfy to hold and use & great coverage , and I would recommend them very good value and range of sizes easy to wash clea
Value for money – does the job for the price. Obviously could pay alot more for better brushes but these do the job.
Really impressed with the quality of these brushes! I’ve used them with both paint and gloss and neither times lost any bristles. Easy to clean and fantastic value for money. Would definitely recommend.
Having used paint brushes for many years in home decoration it was a pleasant surprise not to have to pick bristles from the wet paint. Very pleased with these brushes, they do the advertised job and are easy to clean. Excellent.
It isn’t good that the package had not been sealed in the cardboard envelope, especially as I Could seal it when it arrived to see how sticky the seal was The product itself arrives in perfect packaging, no unnecessary packaging. I haven’t used them yet but will update if there are any faults.
Very happy with this paint brush set. Excellent for use with gloss paint and emulsion. They do clean up easily in white spirit. They do not lose any bristles that I can detect so that’s a good thing when wanting a fine finish. It’s a handy set to cover most small to medium size areas. Very good value for the overall quality.
Great paint brushes – good finish to the paint work, they hold their shape really well and clean up easily. Also very good value for money. Highly recommended.
had these for a while as had other brushes to use first, but these are great, easy to use and accurate and more importantly, easy to clean afterwards.
For a cheap set of brushes these are really good.
Decent brushes to be fair good solid design clean off easy and no loss of hairs comfortable in the hand very good value not a single use brush which is a bonus well recommended
Used them the day they arrived. Good quality and no bristles came out of the brush when in used them… washed up well and good value for money
Very good brushes for multi-purpose paint jobs. Cheap but quality very good.
Love these brushes, they are the best I have ever had. Unbelievably good price and the quality is excellent. No loose hairs and they retain their shape unlike some much expensive ones. They make painting easy.
Only three hairs escaped a very big painting job! Would buy again for sure!
I so far have only used the smallest brush. I used acrylic paints which washed out easily under a tap. As promised they did not shed any bristles.
Ok for price although one brush wasn’t rivited properly and the head fell off .
hese brushes are great . i painted 6 walls using these brushes and no loose hairs spreads the paint well and easy to clean .
These are OK. They are easy too clean but the no bristle loss is a lie. I used these for very light painting on some touching of professionally done work so was in no way using these for a big job. At least 5 bristles came out whilst painting and as I said this was for very light touching up such as small part of gloss on a door frame (not even the whole frame) so yes they are okay and for the price you can’t go wrong but expect bristles in the paint.
Good for cutting in you good grip and easy to clean when the jobs done
I was a bit sceptical about there being no loss of bristles because these paint brushes were such a good price but they are brilliant . I painted my kitchen cupboard doors with them and absolutely no loss of bristles . Definitely going to buy these agai
Best brushes Ive used. I have painted with gloss, eggshell and matt emulsion and not lost a single bristle! They clean really easily. I’ll deffo order agai
These are fantastic brushes for the price – recommended. Have bought a second set (mainly due to forgetting to clean them!)
They are advertised as ‘no loss of bristle’, and seems to be true – I’m not careful with these brushes in use or in cleaning, and they’ve been great.
I also find the yellow colour much better than ‘normal’ colours – it’s much easier to judge how much paint is on the brush, and how clean they are after use.
For the price, you really can’t go wrong.
Very good brushes. Easy to clean …. picks up paint well …. lays the paint without problem and no bristle loss. Better than a hair brush for definite.
I am very happy with these brushes, probably the best I have ever used. I am not the best painter but these allow me to achieve a lovely straight line with no effort. No sticking out bristles or loose ones in your paint which you have to picked out. Highly pleased with them.
Easy to clean and give a good clean spread of paint.
These paint brushes are really good quality, they dont drop bristles either and are a great price, highly recommend
Have just used these to paint some skirting boards and a couple of doors. No problems with bristle loss, and they didn’t leave any nasty brush marks either. Very good brushes for the price.
Bought these as I wanted inexpensive paint brushes to paint my radiator with non-water based paint, which I knew would go to the trash after the job was done. They worked extremely well. In between coatings I wrapped them in cling foil and kept them in a cold place so I could use then again and this was no problem. At this price this is very good value. Next will be to try for wall surfaces, but so far so good.
I got these as throw aways for painting a wardrobe and chest of draws but they are so good I didn’t throw them away.
They left a good even coat while using satinwood, the bristles don’t fall out at all and always return to the original position which means you can be precise.
Really happy
I was a little unsure about how good these brushes were considering the budget price for 5 brushes.
Excellent quality for money, no bristle loss and I have just ordered another 4 packets.
Used these brushes during lockdown to decorate the kids bedroom, they proved easy to clean and bristles stay firmly fixed.
Surprisingly didn’t leave any brush marks, really easy to clean off after use, was expecting to go through the whole pack on my kitchen project and only used three which are clean and will be used again.
Great pack of brushes. Used these to paint a variety of surfaces around the house. Only held back a star because one rattled constantly which got rather annoying – the others didn’t though.
Lightweight, easy to clean and comfortable to use.
Bought these to door a few doors and under the stairs. Reasonable brushes quite stuff but give a good finish.
Lost a star as they do shed a bit and paint coverage is sometimes uneven vs other brushes I’ve tried.
Lots of lockdown refurb and DIY painting – off the basis of reviews, picked these up. Performed very well with very little-no loss of bristles. Unlike Harris brushes which seemed to molt to no end (may have been unlucky…).
Brushes ok! You do still get some bristles come loose when first used! Brush handles are weak where it meets the brush head!
Found these to be easy clean and so far have not lost any bristles! The claims of no loss don’t always pan out do they!
Please tap “Helpful” if my review has been useful or interesting. Makes me feel wanted
hese are very good, didn’t lose any bristle, very good, only problem i had was i snapped one whilst cleaning but i am very heavy handed
Amazed by the quality of these, possibly one of the most sturdy bristles on a paint brush I’ve ever used.
Feel good and heavy, feel expensive without being expensive.
Easy to clean as well, I painted my front door using these and they didn’t miss a beat.
What I will say is, buy the 5 pack for a couple of pounds more, as the bigger brush will come in handy
Overall I’ll give it 4 out if 5 stars.
Check my other reviews of which I have a few
These brushes are amazing. I usually get Harris from b and q but they had sold out when I checked so I got these thinking they would do. They are the best brushes I’ve ever used. No loss of bristles at all and they are so easy to clean. Literally just wash with water and they are fine. I’ve used them loads and they are still fantastic. Also usually in a mix pack there is at least one brush that is the size you don’t need but these are a perfect mix. Would recommend these over harris brushes.
Lovely to use as it gets the job done but would love the 5 width brush so that I can get the job done faster. I love this brush as it is smooth when painting with.
Nice item. They do drop hair but to be fair at that price I’m not surprised.
Good value and they were perfect for the job at hand.
I used a green paint and it has stained the bristles at the end.
Have bought many cheap brushes where you leave a bristle on your door every so often, or you don’t actually see the bristle till your painting is dry. So far this hasn’t happened with these brushes and I have given them a lot of use during the Covid Pandemic. They clean very easily as I am a stickler for cleaning them down once used. They don’t leave marks on my paining (ok maybe that is because I don’t use too much paint at a time) But I would recommend these brushes to anyone
Took these out the pack , 6 , 7 Bristles were sticking out one of the brushes ,So I pulled them out & I thought Oh well you get what you pay for … Wrong No more came out any of them and they were the best brushes I have used while DIY decorating I used these for Gloss on Skirting boards & They clean easily, Now knowing how good they are I would have paid Double the price for them….
Great little Paint Brushes 5
Good quality easy to use ! Used for flossing and much better than previous brushes I’d used
Bought these for decorating the house and would highly recommend. The handles provide a good grip and feel much more expensive than they are, the bristles are soft and don’t leave bristle marks in the paint and they were really easy to clean out. A couple of bristles did come out, but nowhere near as bad as some paintbrushes I have used previously.
After reading some of the reviews I thought I’d give them a go. Even losing a few bristles would be better than what I’d been working with. I’m glad I went for them. Feel great the paint with. Not lost a single bristle so far. I’ve used two brushes out of the pack so this may change but I’m very happy at the moment. Used with chalk and other water based paint. After washing, brushes don’t even look like they’ve been used. Would definitely recommend a try.
Good brushes, do not shed at all, and clean out well, i have bought 2 sets of these now, and have not been disappointed.
These brushes are amazing the best I’ve tried. I’ve decorated the whole house and it been trial & error I’ve bought expensive brushes but nothing compares to these. No bristle loss. Easy to cut in and get a good straight line. Will never use any other brush in future. And for the price fantastic.
I’m not a professional but do all my own painting and decorating . I’ve used a lot of different brushes over the years but these are best I’ve ever used . No bristle loss very easy to clean and an excellent price .
Came in good condition. The brush itself is soft (really soft)!
Haven’t use it yet but hopefully it’ll worth the money!
These are actually very good brushes. I’ve used 2 out to the pack for emulsion and had no bristles molting. I do plenty of diy and have tried many over the years and i would buy these again.
Very little bristle loss – two in three days. Holds the paint nicely without it running up to the handle (but I guess that depends on how far you stick the brush in the paint), gives a smooth and even finish and can be used to “cut in” with ease. Easy to clean with white spirit and good to go for the next task.
In the evening it is fun to surprise your friends by holding a brush with the bristles under your nose and pretending you have grown a yellow moustache overnight.
Not bad brushes, when cleaning they sometime hold secret buckets of water in the bristles but apart from that I like them
As someone who only uses water based paints I can’t comment on how easy they would be to clean if using spirit based paint .
However I have found these to be exceptional . Easy to use . Hold their form , no stray bristles and easy to clean right down to the roots . Why buy expensive bristle brushes when these are available .
Really nice to paint with. Smooth finish easy to get. I painted a door and lost 2 bristles on my first job so that claim is a little spurious. Not bothered by that though.
hese are excellent brushes bought various brands cheap and expensive and all lost bristles using these to decorate living room with gloss and emulsion and no bristle loss and easy clean perfect and would definitely buy again 5star is the correct rating
I bought these on the reviews and price. I have to say, for the money, they are very very good. We did the bedroom and they really made things easier. There was no bristle loss and very easy to clean. Also as a cut in brush they are one of the best I have used that was not expensive.
Given the project I bought them for and the likelihood of me throwing them away, I chose to wash and keep them. Yep they are cheap but I found them good enough not to be a one job purchase and will use them again.
Got them for waterbased paint, for skirtings and cubbards. Used it with zinsser (undercoat sealer stain killer 😉 cant reccomend both enough. The paint sits well, some bristles are lost but really not many. A trick is to wrap them tightly in plastic/zip bag – they can be stored like that for week or two – no need to clean in between. Good handle grip. Would recommend. Tried to buy again but they are out at the moment unfortunatelly.
Nice brushes that work well with any paints but sometimes take quite a while to clean thoroughly. Not advised for oil based paints if you wish to clean them for more use. (Professional painter).
Only really lost a star for claiming to be zero loss the brushes are OK for the money paid but definitely not zero loss brissles came off in my hand when I first touched i
Product is good value for money. Four stars due to it losing bristles despite the “clever” title
I use these wider brushes to cover the surfaces of large canvases. There are still the odd strands that will come out, so it’s not exactly “no loss”; but there are only a few, so it’s comparatively better. They cover the surfaces well, and are easily cleaned.
given a five star rating for easy to clean which is done with water based paints but for gloss paints at this price they are thrown away. Cheaper than buying white spirit and spending time. hold paint well and give an acceptable finish for general painting. Not used where premium quality finish needed
These brushes are great. Lightweight and easy to use and clean. I would have given five stars however they are not Zero-Loss. Very little loss compared to many brushes I have tried but there was still loss.
Probably the best brushes I’ve used for painting. They do lose the occasional bristle, but nowhere near even the best of the other brushes I’ve used in my years of painful DIY. So, yeah. Recommended, I guess.
I was very sceptical of the claims, that these brushes would not shed any of their bristles; but was pleasantly surprised. I purchased these brushes to apply several coats of varnish to my tatty old kitchen table. They worked brilliantly. So I binned all my other brushes and bought some more.
I fully expected these brushes to be of poor quality considering the price however on recently using them to paint a room I found they are the best brushes I have ever used!. The handle comfort is great, no hair loss at all and the paint loads and unloads nicely from the brush, cleaning is also a doddle when using water based paint. if you are looking for a set of brushes then look no further!!
Good for the price brushes, though the bristles tend to start sticking out at odd angles halfway through a job, making things a bit tricky.
Took a chance on these brushes, very cheap and didn’t expect too much from them, but was pleasantly surprised. They are good quality and I have used them several times a week over the last few months and Neve had a single bristle in my work.
Clean really easily, looking to buy another set as a spare.
Don’t expect the worlds best paintbrushes and you’ll be happy. You get a good deal for what you pay for here. I have definitely had worse ones. They keep their shape and are easy to clean. They do not leave behind bristles. Perfect for any amateur – medium level DIY.
What a joy these brushes are in use, great lines, hold the paint very well for cutting in especially – just one small point – the filaments feel really tremendous, but the odd one does come out I have found, a little disappointing – in spite of preparing the brush before use. But this is a small point – these are an excellent find and I recommend them purely for their ease of use, of course price, the filament tapered design and so easy to clean. I feel that my paintwork has moved up several grades!
Very nice brushes. I got them for oil paintings as I do a lot in wet on wet technique. Usually synthetic brushes get clumped and sometimes loose hair. But these never lost a single hair until now and I can achieve several effects with these.
To claim zero hair loss is a huge statement and one that this brush, or any brush for that matter can truly live up to. It is however a nice brush with a good level of stiffness in the hairs that make them ideal for gloss paints. It doesn’t shed many hairs, one or two over a full length door and being yellow they are fairly easy to spot. Overall I can live with this for what I think is still a decent brush.
The problem with using a number like zero (zero loss paint brush), is that it doesn’t leave any room for error. I DID lose bristles. Not many. But one or two. Generally, it’s a great brish and it did help us get our bedroom painted but it’s not zero loss. One star knocked off for that.
Can’t believe that after many years of home decor and `making do` with brushes, albeit from well known names, I have eventually found what I had been seeking. Takes a good paint loading and the yellow bristles seem to make it easier for detailed and lined finish. Absolutely delighted!
Oh blimey. I’ve bought all sorts of brushes on Amazon, being disappointed with most of them. But HERE IS the real thing. We unpack it and the first thing we notice is its sturdy make. Each brush is strong and flexible. We’re advised to ‘comb’ each brush; I just ran my fingers down each brush slowly and firmly. Not ONE stray fibre! I did notice that, if you are a bit too rigorous and forget to keep your ‘combing’ STRAIGHT, the outside bristles take on a splayed shape. But as roon as I groomed them, they were back to normal. As an artist (not a decorator) these brushes spring well from paint onto canvas, leaving movement somehow; my work is far less static, and I didn’t even know it WAS static till I compared the results. I think they are smooth operators, deserve more than 5 stars, and the ‘push-back’ on them is more then enough to ease aching hands for larger work; not every paintbrush has any spring-back at all. This movement does not detract from where you want to place your brush… each brush was the same – they had no side sweep, are great on curves. They feel, in fact, a bit like working with real quill pens and ink. Hold color well, right up to the ferule. Oh – just TREAT yourself.
NB……..AFTERTHOUGHT: How to store these brushes matters. I have mine in an old fox-mug, where they stand together with no mix of bristles causing later side-sweep. THESE BRUSHES NEED TAKING CARE OF and are worth it. They spring back into shape after use. I choose one, use, then lay it flat, its end just touching the main colours. LAY FLAT WHILST USING> Afterwards, clean as appropriate to your medium, then vigorously shake any excess water (et al) off. THEN, keep them in anything that’s tall enough to have them protected at the ferrule… I used an old tin. I’d advise that, if tin makes them splay out too much like 12 red roses, find something taller. They’ll stay close together and seem to like it! Bristles stay neat, grabbing any brush is easy, and most of all – have fun. These brushes can do surprisingly delicate work, the sides stay straight and no shedding whatsoever. They’re a pleasure.
Good price and painted well BUT unlike other people,I found several of the brushes did lose bristles, and I was painting something very smooth and simple too. Still pleased with brushes for price and they wash much much much better than your average brush
I know that there are only five stars but it’s not enough for me this time.
first I want to thank you seller,he sent this for me in 24 hours.the first time using quality is really good.I’m talking about really hard paint like one of these
I’ve done a lot of painting in my time – which is a fairly long time. And I have to say these are probably the best brushes for the price I’ve ever used. I’ve just repainted my kitchen cupboards and they were great for undercoat, chalk paint and varnish. Not one bristle to be seen anywhere and very easy to clean afterwards. Also great for woodwork and emulsion, highly recommended!
Very good brushes and excellent value for money.. These brushes are true to their word, no bristle loss as promised. Unlike other brushes I’ve bought recently I also found these so much easier to clean. I had previously purchased brushes which claim to be easy clean but these are far easier to clean than the ones that claim it, a good clean up meant they were perfect for use when I next used them. I have used with gloss paint and cleaned with white spirit and still in perfect conditio
Very good value brushes. I’ve been using them for the past 4 days, decorating my kitchen and dining room, both with emulsion and gloss paints, and am very happy with the results. No bristle fallout whatsoever, no streaks in the paint. Overall very pleased.
Great brushes, I was a bit sceptical as I have had awful experiences with Coral rollers in the past but TBH these brushes are great! No loss at all after painting a 4 bedroom house using the two larger brushes! They were worn out after finishing the job though and will probably throw them away now as they are starting to bend in the middle from all the bushing… But, to paint the house without any brush hair loss, then throw away, they are perfect!
Brilliant set of brushes. Used these for glossing and emulsion when we recently decorated our dining room. Perfect. Paint covered well and brush hairs didn’t come off.
I love these paint brushes. As a decorator quality is a must and these paint brushes meet that requirement. they lay the paint on really well and are really easy to clean too, especially with water based paints. The zero loss claim has also proved to be true. All in all a really nice
comfortable brush to use and I will have no hesitation in buying more. Highly recommended. AJ
These are great paint brushes, very easy to use leaves a lovely finish, and the best bit very very easy to clean, would highly recommend.
