27 PIECE INDOOR PAINTING SET

It’s all about the trade-up!

Every Hamilton product is designed to help you achieve an excellent finish.

Choose For The Trade for simplicity, good coverage and speed – for a good, all-round finish and to get the job done.

Switch-up to Prestige to add a little more finesse! In brushes you will get waxed handles for additional comfort, and tapered filaments in the brush head for cleaner lines, less brush marks and a precision finish.  Rollers are a higher density fabric which means you’ll load more paint and get the most out of every pass. Tools have comfortable soft grip handles.

For the finest finish upgrade to Hamilton’s Perfection brushes and rollers – the professional’s choice.  Brushes contain their finest filaments for precise lines, control, and no brush marks, giving you the most from every stroke.  Rollers are a Microfibre blend, designed for a flawless finish, minimal spatter and even coverage – a  best-seller amongst professional decorators.

Hamilton’s filament technology is constantly evolving, and this means that you can use synthetic brushes with oil/solvent-based paints.  Bear in mind that these types of paints can generally be thicker/stickier (high viscosity) so can need more pushing and dragging around. 

Hamilton’s For The Trade and Prestige brushes are designed for use with all paints, whereas the Perfection MaxStroke™ brush is designed more specifically for paints that are of a lower viscosity, to produce a finer finish.  

No, you don’t. Unlike traditional natural bristle brushes, synthetic filaments won’t wear. They are also already designed for the task at hand and will be all, or some of the following: tapered, flagged or fine-tipped. You’ll get a smoother finish straight from the pack – they’ll also clean more easily!

A short pile sleeve is used for painting smooth surfaces such as those recently plastered (when dry), plasterboard or lining paper. Medium pile sleeves are the most common pile, for use on semi-smooth surfaces such as woodchip or lightly patterned, or previously painted walls. A long pile sleeve is usually used for rough surfaces such as artex or more heavily patterned surfaces.

It may be that there was some loose lint/fabric before you started using it – this is normal. When using a brand new roller (not applicable for foam) dampen your hand first and run it over the sleeve to remove loose bits that are there from the manufacturing process.

Also double-check that you are using the correct roller for the paint you are using.

It is always best to follow any paint manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.  All paints and coatings are different, and some may be easier to remove than others.  

We would recommend removing excess paint immediately after use.  Try a brush comb for brushes or a roller cleaner for sleeves.  Removing as much excess paint as possible will lessen paint waste and ensure the tool is easier to clean for future use.  Rollers are best stood on end to dry.

Most of Hamilton’s brushes are vapour box compatible (check product details). Generally, a brush used for oil-based paints is kept moist rather than cleaned in-between each job – a vapour box helps this process.

Bear in mind any special varnishes, coatings, lacquers – or metals that aren’t resistant – may corrode or crack when used in a vapour box.

Your roller frame will be either push-fit or screw-fit, and you can usually tell quite easily by looking at the frame handle.

Hamilton For The Trade extension poles are both push-fit and screw-fit compatible – screw off the end adapter for screw-fit attachments.
