Cheap but decent enough paint brush recommendation.

I am a bit of a snob when it comes to paint brushes and generally only use Corona's.
However, I have some railings that need to be done in Hammerite so asked my local Brewers what they had.
I walked off with a bag of 10 Hamilton Performance brushes for just over £12 inc VAT - 2x 1", 3x 1.5" and 5x 2"
They are a 'mix of natural and synthetic bristles' or so it says on the pack.

Now, no-one is going to pretend that these are great brushes, but for Hammerite or any other use-and-chuck jobs they will be perfect as long as you don't mind picking a few shed bristles out and at a good price.
So far I have only used one to try it out and bristle loss isn't so bad, they can actually cut in fairly well and so get a big thumbs up from me !

The Harris ones at B&M bargains wouldn't be too bad for something like that.

Ive just repainted the hallway and dining room using Harris brushes and rollers. Cant fault any of the products I used.

Just seen that Costco have a pack of 15 assd sizes Harris brushes for around £12.00. Less than a pound a brush!

Actually they're in the sale(until May 17th) for £9.22 inc vat, 7 quid odd less vat.
