No, Velvet Finishes products do not require special brushes, however best results are seen with a good quality brush.

Our polyester bristle brushes, aptly named - THE REVIVER - are perfect for painting VF products. The bristles are just the right amount of stiff and they are available in 5 sizes.

There is no need for multiple types of brushes. The Reviver brushes can be used for either VF COLOUR, ENHANCE and PROTECT products.

Kellie's Tip: Natural hair bristles become overly saturated in water based paints and become heavy and 'floppy'. The longer the bristle, the 'floppier' they become. And nobody likes a floppy bristle. We advise against using natural hair brushes for best results.

To clean your brush, simply rinse under faucet in tepid water until clear water is seen.  Clean up is a snap with Velvet Finishes!  No special soaps or products needed.

Kellie's Tip:  If you can hang your brush upside down for drying, do.  If not, absorb the excess water with a towel or rag and prop the brush on something so that the bristles are not touching anything.  After your brush is dry, store it in the bristle cover that came with the brush.  This will help keep the bristles in the best shape possible and extend the life of the brush.  Good brushes aren't cheap, but they will last for years if well taken care of.

Kellie's Tip:  Brushes wet with paint may be stored for later use.  Place brush end in a storage baggy, mush the bristles in the bag and store in a cool place.  Use within a couple of days or rinse paint out of brush.  Do not allow the paint to dry on the brush.
