IQ 90 brushes are designed for practical, repeated use across a range of painting projects. They are used to apply paint to surfaces where controlled application, access and accuracy are important.
IQ 90 brushes are particularly useful for painting edges, corners, narrow sections, trim and areas that are difficult to reach with a paint roller. They can also be used to apply paint to smaller surfaces and for detailed work where the painter needs direct control over the application.
