Can I use the same paint brush with different paint?

Best Answer

"Hi, yes you can use the same brush if you don't have another. But there are certain types of brushes for certain types of paints, depending on the composition of the paint."

"To be honest there are different types of brushes gloss brush masonry brush loads of different types but to answer your question yes you can make sure it’s been cleaned out properly"

"It's best to use different brushes for water based paint and oil based paint"

"No keep your brushes clean oil brushes can only be used for oil and water base brush for water base paints"

"No you will need another paint brush as using different colours with one paint brush will change the colour finish on on the wall."

"I use different paint brushes for oil based paint from the ones I use for emulsion paint. Zev."

"Yes you use the same brush, you just need to make sure you clean the old paint from it first"

"Yes you can use the same brush with different paints as long as you thoroughly clean it and dry it between uses.

Water based paints can be cleaned with soap and water. Oil-based paints require paint thinner, turpes or white spirit."

"Hello Jackie
You can only use brushes for set paints,
We use set brushes for water based paints and those we can just wash out with water when the job is done
And then set brushes for oil based paints, these don’t wash out as easy as you need white spirits to clean them out but they never come perfectly clean to them put in water based paints, so I’d advise you to have a set of each of you have on going work."

"You need different types of brush for each paint. When you buy the paint ask them what brush would you recommend."

"There are many brushes for painting but yes you can use the same brush just give it a good clean before use of next paint"
