The GM-02 ProModel Hybrid Kolinsky Paint Brush is developed in collaboration with GrandArts, a respected Taiwanese brush manufacturer known for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs—such as their pioneering aluminum-handled brush series.

This brush combines premium Kolinsky hair with durable synthetic fibers, creating a hybrid bristle blend that delivers exceptional tip stability, smooth and consistent paint flow, and precise control.

Features

• Hybrid Kolinsky + synthetic bristle blend for exceptional precision and durability

• Ultra-fine, stable point ideal for lining, highlights, and micro details

• Smooth, controlled paint flow with clean, sharp edges

• Excellent spring and tip recovery

• Comfortable painted wooden handle for long painting sessions

• Suitable for acrylics, lacquers, and enamels

• Professional-grade performance for detail-focused miniature and scale model work

Triangular Handle

The ergonomic triangular grip increases stability and significantly reduces finger strain, especially during fine line work, where painters often grip too tightly.

Recommended For

• Modelers who need maximum precision for details, figures, and cockpit painting

• Painters seeking Kolinsky performance with added durability

• Artists working on fine lines, shading, and highlights

• Hobbyists needing a reliable brush for advanced techniques

Usage & Care

Before First Use

Our brushes arrive with a water-soluble protective gum.

1. Rinse the brush gently in clean water.

2. Shape the bristles lightly with your fingers until all gum dissolves.

3. Once the bristles move freely, the brush is ready to use.

Important During Use

• Keep paint only on the front 2/3 of the bristles.

• Avoid getting paint into the ferrule (metal part).

Dried paint at the base of the hairs can cause:

• bent or split hairs

• clumping

• loss of tip sharpness

• reduced spring and control

This is the most common cause of natural-hair brush damage.

Cleaning After Use

• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

• Put the protective cap back on and dry the brush upright.

• For coarse pigments (skin tones, greys, metallics, washes): use conditioning brush soap.

• For oil paints: clean with odorless thinner or brush soap, then rinse with water.

Suitable cleaning agents: Linseed oil (recommended), White/Mineral Spirits or Conditioning brush soap

Avoid: Harsh chemical cleaners

Durability

Kolinsky / Hybrid Kolinsky brushes are consumable tools. Over time, the tip will naturally soften and bristle cohesion will decrease, but with proper care, the brush will last several months of daily use.
