I have a full wall of brick that needed priming before painting (that’s just good practice people) and if I had to do that with a roller or brush it would have taken at least 2X as long.

This way the only weapon needed to win the battle is a paint brush and a gallon of the matching color. 

I take it you brushed over it.

Angle grinder with cut off/grinding/brush attachments. 

My advice, brush up on everything on this website. 

As for plumbing fixtures, most people don't know the difference, stick with Kohler, Moen or Delta in a chrome or brushed nickel finish. 

They usually have brush marks, roller texture, etc. 

I used a brush to get into the groves between panels and around tight areas and trim - there are a lot of nooks & crannies.

We removed the mobile home and cleaned up the brush to enhance the view.

In fact until 2 months ago I lived downtown in Brush Park.
