Painting finish coats with brushes
When painting final coats of finish be sure to let the brush do the work. I often see people that have little or no experience DRY BRUSH which means trying to continue applying paint when the brush does not have enough paint on it. When dipping the brush into the paint submerse the brush 1 to 1 1/2 inches into the paint and then lightly slap each side against the bucket walls, (this will minimize dripping), now your ready to apply the paint to the surface. When stroking the brush you should be able to apply the paint to about eight inches of surface area at an angle and then lay the brush flat and go back over the same area and your done with that brush stroke (Don't over brush). If using quality paint such as Sherwin Williams Super Paint or Duration you will notice as it dries how the paint lays down and dries to a nice even finish.
