(At one time I shot B&W almost exclusively). The bristles are long, firm, but extremely soft. They're a good brush, match most popular film sizes, but I was always dubious of the effects of the radioactive materials. (Except I always wondered why all the bugs in my darkroom had three heads.) I used my brush happily long after it's "expiration date". It would probably be good for a truck, especially the 3" wide ones. But, Staticmaster brushes are INSANELY expensive. You'd have to be pretty serious about your truck to shell out that kind of money. Me, I prefer those nasty blue rags you get at the filling station and some exploded Coke foam.
