cellulose paint thinners, as used by the car paint trade
don't bother it will cost you more to clean them than buy new.


Enamel paint is one of the hardest to get out.you have most probley been painting radiators or a white kitchen appliance so you have been paint in for a while, this will mean the paint in the bristles will have started to set.
Use water to clean up,it should be latex based if its fast drying it defently is not an oil based you can use soap and water if not use mineral spirits,if their cheaper brushes ie 1-8 dollars then i would just throw away if not using in a few days afterwards.exspensive brushes run from 10-20 dollars and those are worth saveing also if you plan to clean afterwards, it is not recommended to cover over half of the brissles with paint, makes for easier cleaning if you get it up past the metal it will be alot harder.Be careful how you use the word enamel these days, it can mean anything and be confusing better term would be to address them as either oil based or latex.
maybe try paint remover like nitromors
speed ..try moving faster to get to the turps
Gun Wash It is a darivative of thinners I use it at work for my Spray gun it will shift anything a good paint wholesalers should stock it
