Wish you could get out to Yorba Linda. I don't head that way down the 91 very often.

I've seen Corona brushes at Miller Paint, Dulux Paint, and an independent hardware/paint store in my area. Not sure about Ace, but you could always call them to ask. I'm just a novice -- but have been using gloss for trim, and notice that the glossier the paint, the more the brushmarks show. I did get compliments from a painter friend on my work, though. I worked very fast to let the paint flow out as much as possible. On the trim that is down from the wall, this is much easier than what's still attached. Brushmarks don't seem to show in the primer as much because it is less glossy. At least, these are my total newbie observations. FWIW, I used Purdy brushes -- haven't tried Corona yet. I do find that the Nylox gave a smoother finish than the XL (the XL is "all purpose," the Nylox is for latex only).

I've been painting for 15 years I really like the purdy "moose" brush I also like the corona slant "stubbys" such as the "cool and "red" brushes simply due to the comfort compaired to the longer skinny handles of other slant brushes out there. But haven't tried a "regular" corona I've had a person say to try 1 says he likes the stiffness of the corona better the the flexiblity of purdy. I guess it just comes down to personal perfence, how one likes the way the brush sits in their hand, and their skill in manipulating their brush. Perhaps I ll explore the other corona brushes unfortunately there r only a couple of shops in nothern Delaware that carry em
