For the dogs??? Not a chance! I will definitely be picking up the Purdy Pack for my next paint job!
So I recently (as in yesterday) had the pleasure of receiving a paint brush to demo. A company called Purdy sent me one of their fancy new paintbrush sets so I could try out their wares. Before I go any further, in case you have never read this blog before or are not familiar with the writer, I’m a little… umm… cheap! As in, expensive taste but a bloggers pocket-book. This means that while I go for quality in the paint and the object being painted, I’m always looking for the areas that I can cut. Paintbrushes have been at the top of the list. So in all my years of painting stuff, I’ve always bought the no-name, el cheapo paintbrushes. I pretty much use them for the job that I’m doing and then throw them out.
Then…. (start the trumpets) along came this fancy-dancy paintbrush and I’m not lying but this may have thrown off my “save your cash on the paintbrush” mojo. I chose to try the new paintbrush out on my backyard wooden furniture, desperately in need of a fresh coat of Varnish. My old paintbrushes might have left a few little hairs on the job but the Purdy guys… nada!
My Review on the Purdy Paintbrush with a 5 clubs being tops!
- Effectiveness: ♣♣♣♣♣
- Handle: ♣♣♣♣♣
- Re-use: ♣♣♣♣ (throw the paintbrush in the freezer w/ a plastic bag around it- will keep for months)
- Overall Look: ♣♣ (a cute color would be better… hey! what can I say, I’m a marketer’s dream)
- Cost: $$$$ very expensive compared to the rest but I will admit you get what you pay for.
Would I buy another? You bet… the re-use factor rocks compared to my no-name Lowes and Home Depot specials!
What are the folks saying?
