Can you guys suggest some good brushes for weathering. Best brands? I am so sick of my brushes tips fraying on me after using it for 2 models.

Brushes I use for weathering take a beating, so I use whatever is cheapest at the art & crafts/artist's supply stores. A soft, wide (up to 1/2 " ) brush for pigments, etc., and grungy old brushes for really rough stuff. But you don't want to use a stiff brush as that will probably knock off small PE.

depends ,weathering says everything and nothing is a word that includes many techniques, different effects and mediums, in general i prefer medium-high quality brushes possibly non-synthetic, step away from #6 to 0/10, short and long hair that above for washing fit well having a large tank, but also with many different shape like flat, Cat tongue etc ... and i think that everyone has their own preferences and adapts the techniques at will

i have a set similar and is pretty handy,you can see also how many types you can find....

But I think the thing perhaps more 'important is the care of the brush, a very expensive Winsor & Newton series 7 (one of the best brushes on the market and my favorite) if taken good care can' last for years.

Personally at the end of each session that are good and bad brushes i clean them with the laquer thinner after warm water and the soap for brushes "Masters" and with the same i give back the shape, even when i dip the brush i try to be careful to only put half the bristles in the paint to avoid damaging the brushes

even old brushes are useful for mixing colors or cut for other work type like drybrush and more.

~10 nail art brushes for ~$10 on eBay. They don't hold a point, for as long; but they are great for dry brushing. For pigment application you can find make up applicators, also on eBay.

I've got this set from AK Interactive.

The most economical route to go is the Dollar Store - make-up brushes in the women's section, and brushes in the arts & crafts section. Brushes for weathering, dry-brushing, and applying pigments don't have to be expensive.
