Which Corona? Cortez, Or Excalibur?

metomeya

I've been using Excaliburs (er or ur? i forget) 100% chinex.

I love them, but I wanna test out the Cortez. Anyone here try both yet?

I'm also thinking about jumping up from the 2 1/2" to the 3"

Opinions? Will it help me work faster, or get a tired hand faster?

Cortez is my favorite. But I have never tried the EX

3 inch is great if you can handle it.
Especially on siding for brushing back. Great for stucco too. I like the excalibur cuz it's all paint and we can use it with our oil priming which we do quite a bit of.

Corona... with lime!

I love both brushes. Have used cortez for yours. Just a month or so ago got my first excaliburs from the paintstore.com, what a brush. those things hold so much paint. I havent ried the 3 inch but let me know how it goes.

I use the toledo a lot....love, love, love it

but it's pretty much for siding

Well i can not really say about the brushes, but i would definitly bump up the brush size to the 3. You will be able to move quicker getting more done.

Do you really use a 3" brush on siding? I've never heard of such a thing. 4" minimum. I mean, sheet...I'm using a 3 1/2" for interior cutting

I use the 3" Tacoma occasionally. Not complaints about it.

I was thinking the same thing.
I use a 4 for interior cutting or a 3 1/2
What kind of 3 1/2 are you using Rich? I have seen cortez's in the
3 1/2's I keep saying next time i go into PPG i will grab one to add to my arsenal.

I'm not big on switching brushes (way I learned), therefore I use 3 1/2" Purdy Pro Extra Glides for just about everything interior, including sash, ballisters, etc.

I also use this brush for exterior trim. I very rarely bust out anything smaller than a 3 1/2 unless it's real tight or I need to grab my "tight spot" brush.

insides I use a 2 and a half corona excalibur,,,for outsides a 3 and a half corona kingston seems to feel quite nice and holds a ton of paint !

DeanV

2.5 excalibur for interior wall work, 2.5" Vegas for interior trim work, and either a Purdy or Corona 3.5" semi-oval for exterior siding.

metomeya

but you didn't say which is your favorite of the two

I was working for a stripper. She would give me Coronas with a lime in it! Best job ever! And she feed me home made sauage biscuits!

Richard
