Abstract
A paint brush includes a plurality of filaments that form a brush head. A handle, having a brush attachment end, can be coupled to the brush head. The handle can have a grip that extends away from the brush head. A coating can cover the brush attachment end and at least a portion of the grip. The coating can form a seal around the handle to resist absorption of chemicals by the handle.

- a) a plurality of filaments together forming a brush head;
- b) a handle having a brush attachment end coupled to the brush head and a grip extending away from the brush head;
- and
- c) a sleeve substantially circumscribing the brush attachment end of the handle and a mating end of the brush head;
- and
- d) a coating covering at least a portion of an outer surface of the grip and an outer surface of the sleeve, the coating:
