Purdy Pro Extra Monarch Paint Brush - Professional Trade Brush

This listing is for a single Purdy Pro Extra Monarch paint brush, sold on its own. Pro Extra is a trade positioned tier within the Purdy family, built for decorators who need a brush that holds and applies more paint per stroke without compromising on finish. Purdy has handcrafted paint brushes in the USA since 1925 and is now part of Sherwin-Williams.

The Pro Extra Monarch uses a blend of Chinex, Tynex and Orel synthetic filaments that are longer and thicker than those used in Purdy's standard ranges, giving the brush greater paint pick up and lay off, particularly with higher viscosity paints. It is recommended for oil based paints and is built with a comfortable beavertail handle for extended use on site.

How to Use

Dip about a third of the bristle length into the paint and tap off any excess rather than wiping it against the tin. Apply with steady, even strokes, letting the longer filaments lay off the paint smoothly across the surface. When working with oil based paint, clean the brush with white spirit or a dedicated brush cleaner after use, then rinse, reshape the bristles and leave the brush to dry flat or hanging.
