The window trim we are planning to paint is on the 3rd and 4th floors
front, and some of the southwest facing back. The lower floors in the front
don't get much sun. They are okay for now. No one is going to be able to
see any brush marks or stuck-in-the-paint bristles on the 3rd and 4th
floors. Nor in the back.


Your job, your brush. But I think it's odd that someone
concerned about today's latex paints not being good enough thinks
using a cheap throwaway brush for window trim is a good idea.


I don't see this. I am looking for the paint that will last the longest.
The longer I can go between paintings the more money I save. The point of
disposable brushes -- for oil-based only -- is also to save money. I pay
for my painter's time. It takes time to clean oil-based paint out of a
brush. That time would cost me more than a $1.73 brush.
