Corona 2.5-inch Excalibur Chinex Paint Brush | Handcrafted with 100 DuPont Chinex Filament

Classic Craftsmanship, Modern Performance

In a world where many tools are designed to be used once and discarded, Corona Brushes stands out with a heritage of careful handcraft. This 2.5-inch Excalibur Chinex Paint Brush is built by a small family-run company that has kept the art of brushmaking alive for decades. Each brush is shaped with attention to detail, from hand-formed chisels to a finished edge, all designed to deliver smooth, even coverage again and again.

The heart of this brush is the 100% DuPont Chinex tapered synthetic filament. Chinex bristles are designed to release paint smoothly and are formulated to hold their shape throughout use, then clean up with relative ease. This makes the brush well-suited to today’s hi-tech coatings, including heavy-bodied waterborne paints, acrylics, and alkyd-modified latex coatings and primers.

Typical use scenarios include fast-tracking priming, cutting in near trim, and applying multiple thin coats on challenging surfaces. While results depend on technique and coating, many professionals find this brush helps them achieve even laydowns and a steady hand without sacrificing control.

Crafted in small batches over eight decades, Corona brushes are made by people who know the difference a careful hand and patient shaping can make. The brush you hold is the result of a process that includes hand-forming the chisels, selecting premium hardwood sash handles, and securing the bristles with stainless ferrules — each step designed to deliver consistent performance.

For those who value traditional craft and modern materials, Corona’s 2.5-inch Excalibur Chinex Brush offers a practical, professional tool that blends historical attention to detail with contemporary performance.
