Dollar Store Brush Review. Painting With $1 Dollar Brushes.

What happens here

Continuing with the dollar store brush, the painter observes that the brush is so stiff it doesn't allow the paint to cover 100%, leading to 'white marks underneath' and visible 'white streaks all over the place.' The filaments of the brush are noted as 'not making a nice point' and are 'splayed out,' making it impossible to achieve a sharp, clean line. This results in a messy, uneven edge that would require significant touch-ups, undermining the 'one-coat' claim of the paint and making the task 'challenging' and 'frustrating.' The painter ultimately decides to stop using it due to its poor performance.

Goal: Further use of the cheap brush reveals its inability to cover adequately, leaving streaks, and its splayed filaments preventing a sharp cutting line.
