Recommendations for quality brush for synthetic paints

[choochoo_balooParticipant @choochoo_baloo]

As per the title, hoping for recommendations for a line of quality paint brushes, that can withstand synthetic paint/thinners.

It seems most modern lines aimed at water based (painters & decoraters), and struggling to find those for synthetics we often use in home metalwork.

e.g Hamilton seem to have crappy varnished finish on handles that flakes after one use – into the paint – which obviously won't do!

Purdy

I was just about to say Purdy. Hamilton products are not what they used to be and I found Purdy to be good when I was repainting my workshop machinery. Nick.

Plus 1 for Purdy.

Another vote for Purdy. I gave up with Hamiltons a few years ago. I did use some "Brittan" brushes that where very good but not seen any for many years.
