New Brushes (swisswax knockoffs)

These showed up from Raceglaze(uk) yesterday. Seem to be of good build quality. I used them on one car so far and am quite pleased. Will post as I use them a bit more and see how they stand up.

 

I have seen these brushes before but not in a set. They do look like great brushes...Thanks...:thumb:

 

Ken those look great!

edit: Have you tried the swissvax brushes to compare these to them?

 

Sorry bud, no I haven't.

 

alright, well keep us updated on how they are.

 

For those in the states or up north (dunno if you guys have it), Michaels has similar ones in the paint brush isle. They work fairly well for being around $3-4

 

I looked after you posted this last time and the Michaels near us doesn't have them.:hmph:

 

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I hope the one near me has them. If not I'll find on in Washington

 

I can take a look for some near me Ken if you want. I owe you for the BH sample you gave me after all :thumb:

 

Hehe, my Michael's has these brushes. If you need any Ken, just let me know as well if Isaac can't help you out.

 

That would be great if you could get me one. I'll get ahold of the actual Swisswax as well and we'll compare the 3.

 

I wonder if these Airebrush stippling brushes would work for detailing purposes:



You can't beat the prices!

Also check out the Dove All Purpose brushes:

 

Those are nice looking brushes as well. What's a set of those worth? The handles are pretty fancy, shmancy.:thumb:

 

Wow, these are some great finds fellas... keep it up!

 

Will do! I'll try to nip by my nearest Michaels sometime this week. If they don't have it then I can just send you mine. I don't use my brush as much as I should lol

Please PM me your addy whenever you feel like it Ken :thumb:

 

I wasn't impressed with the Michaels brush. The bristles fall out very easy. The Swissvax brush is so much better.

 

I have a brush from a craft store similar to Michael's as well. I found it in the isle with the rubber stamps, actually. I agree that the bristles do fall out, but my main gripe was that there simply weren't enough bristles to create the firmness needed to apply adequate pressure.

I still have it, but it sits on the shelf since I use my SV brushes now.

 

I found some of the "Swissvax Lookalike" brushes at a Michael's store around the corner. At $3.25/ea., I figured I'd give them a shot. I'll let you guys know if they're any good.

 

The China made ones are crap. So much smaller, barely even stiff. I think those are the ones you guys hate. Try to find the German one for best results

 

I have only used the SV brushes and like them a lot. Will have to try the ones from Michael's though.
