Great review! Awesome!! Thank you.

Corona pure bristle still better in oil for me than any synthetic.

Could a sworn you were an arroworthy monarch man Can’t beat a worn in bristle perfection for oils Prefer the Picasso’s for water based myself Two fussy mini rollers and rotas for emulsions All have there place purely personal

Have you tried Dulux cupboard paint??

Phil Beckwith The Professional Painter & Decorator

Ive only ever used the perfection range. The pure bristle brushes have now changed, much to my disappointment. But, having tried the new brushes, i am REALLY impressed. Firm type in oil are great. I have one grumble though. In my brush mate box the new brushes don't last. Mine are going hard really quickly. Next to the new brushes, i have a pure bristle of the old range. That is still soft, for months now. And in that same time, ive thrown out 2 boxes (5 brushes) of the new firm range. Something is not right. Anyone else having the same problem?

Never really gone with Johnstone paint as happy with the Leyland but this was bought by client when i said colour match setting plaster in durable matt & they got this, impressed

That Clean Edge demo was very impressive!

Thanks

Are these trade/media days going to continue and will us ordinary painters & decorators be able to go?... it'll be great if they ran them a few times a year. Its a shame Hamilton sold out to foreign companies and transfered production to china, but I guess that was out of necessity because they had dropped down in the brush market and failed to compete with the new kids on the block in the late eighties. They have always struggled to produce a top quality synthetic brush that could compete with the likes of purdy, arrowworthy, Corona, Wooster even orange foxes, so lets hope now they have dropped pure bristle brushes they can get a good synthetic out there, they should certainly have the technology knowhow. Their perfection sleeves are the best out there in my opinion, especially the midi ones..most of the perfection products are very good👍🏽

Great video, love the Hamilton range, the cheaper ranges are also cut above all other own brand ones 100% . A Hamilton rep told me that sales were far stronger in North England/Scotland than the South. He said range almost sells itself in these areas. They put this down to older Tradespeople using lots Hamilton range and their apprentices following suit again.

Idiot 🙄

Thanks for the video Phil. My first job was in that factory 😊...But, I've never been on a channel that causes SO many people to moan,about EVERYTHING 😂😂... "Ive been in the trade for 87 years,and you are all doing it wrong. We used to spit the paint on through a straw blah blah blah " "I used to be a decorator for 121 years,but got so fed up not being allowed to used testicle-hair brushes. They were the best,not like todays rubbish blah blah blah " Whats wrong with people 😂😂

I have been a decorator for over 40 years now. Im Mr Dulux and always have been. In fact I was one of the first members of the Dulux decorator network. I was always Mr Hamilton until they lost their way and started producing crap to cut costs. My choice of brush and roller is usually determined by the level of finish im aiming to achieve. I would use Hamilton for the trade brushes for house bashing and rentals. They avoided saying it, but those brushes are throw away ones. Hamilton professional are slightly better, however the low bristle count of those brushes means they are not as good as they could be. I live in Cornwall and the full Hamilton range is not available here which is odd. I would expect to walk into a Dulux decorator centre or Brewers and find the full range of Hamilton products. Someone at Hamilton is not doing their job properly. 👍

What would you differently for applying this to a ceiling? Does the ceiling need to have a smoother finish - i.e. not use a fat roller to prevent orange peel showing through the gold leaf? REALLY need the advice. Thanks!

Hi Phil, what primer would you recommend when hanging commercial grade tektura 640gsm ( have the tektura recommended paste) onto a pvc panel ? Thanks

Hamilton green are my go to roller. Tried many others but keep coming back to them. Briliant performance at a sensible price. Also picked up some expression brushes for peanuts. Discontinued but at £2 a pop well wirth a punt. Absolutely great for water based applications 👌

Looks a nice car you have phil , is it the sti model ??

Phill, I was very impressed with the performance of the Hamilton paintbrushes ,when I first started serving my time 1970 at 16 years of age, Hamilton made the best brush. on the market but you would never put a brand new brush into gloss you would use it in undercoat and primer first to break it in, the way forward to me seems to manufacture a brush you can immediately put in to gloss oil based or water based and get the finish and application performance that we professionals have been looking for a long time.

Those are polyamide sleeves you always have to pre wash polyamide and even then you get lint come off it

Oil based paints haven't been at their best since like 2006 then they changed them got a bit worse then after 2010 they aren't really fit for purpose anymore whites are no good colours take about 3 months to fully cure then they aren't as durable as they used to be only firm i know of that make solvent paints that aren't post 2010 is palatine paints colours try properly and whites don't yellow after couple years and are durable also the pure bristles aren't as good they used to be they did something to the boar's

That's complete BS about swapping knot rings out from papering brushes that have worn out. All 9 rings of bristles wear out fairly evenly with the two end rings of bristles rounding off a little more than the rest. You stick a new knot of bristles in anywhere on the brush and it will stick out a lot further than all the other rings.

phil please can you tell me whats best to fill cracks in old ceilings?, im confused i see some people say flexible filler and some say normal filler, what type and brand thank you !!

Crap just good for dusters

David Brent 😂

Phil, going over varnished panel doors. With any of these would you still use the recommended primer/undercoat or use Bin?

Great video, price is 85 quid nowadays, still a decent kit. 👌

43 minutes ago You can see the advantage of using HVLP and being able to dial down the fluid to give the mist coat. 👌

Will do 🤟

Great review. Do you think it would go over oil based gloss and bond ok on external widows and sills?

You need to get out more

What would these be like through airless? Not sure I’d be keen on the over spray from this product, Stick to hvlp for this type of thing?

Who has time for watching that stuff ! 🤦‍♂️🤣

Good evening Phil love the videos Next week going to paint some wooden sash windows what is the best white gloss paint to use cheers Phil

LOOK FORWARD TO A SCRATCH TEST,

Who made your wig mate Arrow worthy ?

Here in the netherlands we use waterthin acrylic primer(deep primer) and saturate the surface with it and after drying apply wallpaper or paint.

Hi Phil I watch loads of your videos and tried to do a bit of painting myself but I’ve messed up big time and need some help. I had my living room plastered I gave it a mist coat had to sand down in a few places but done it too hard went back to plaster instead of spotting it with paint I used Zinsser guards like an idiot, it’s messed it all up flashing through the paint around the spots are building up and looks terrible and don’t have a clue what to do. Would I be able to get any advice from you please

Would this spray Metalshield ok?

You bring de painter back if you pay him again. Otherwise you can fight with dulux

Great Video. Can you send me a link to the Rota Premier Rota Finish Refill Sleeve Please. I have the Rota Gold but cant find the Rota Premier Rota Finish Refill Sleeve to finish off the walls. Or Recommend another Good Roller Sleeve for Finishing off coat. Regards. Mark
