Nylon bristles are an excellent choice for water-based paints on interior paint jobs. Many can also be used with oil-based paints but not on shellac or lacquer. They apply a smooth, even coat of paint. However, nylon doesn’t tolerate heat or humidity well, and it can become overly soft. Polyester bristles are somewhat stiff, and they're best suited to painting exterior walls and other outdoor surfaces. These brushes are best with latex paint, but they can be used with oil-based paints, stains, lacquers, and shellacs, as well.

Brushes that are 1 inch to 1.5 inches are useful for very detailed work, small touch-ups, or very tight spots.
