WHATEVER GETS THE JOB DONE
I’m sure side by side they are very different. But isn’t paint just paint? I guess if you’re trying to paint a wall and you don’t want to have to do a ton of coats, you’d probably want to spend the extra money and get the better paint with better coverage.
I think cheap paints and cheap brushes are perfect for whatever you need them to do. After painting with my fancy new-new’s, I realized I couldn’t tell a real difference. My janky old stuff and my new bling all worked just fine to get the job done. Each one just as good as the next.
Now a good fan brush is a different story. The one I have is total garbage. But I don’t dare throw it away.
