wow, i cannot believe someone would sit and "paint" weeds with a brush...talk about tedious!
You can pick up any number of selective herbicides at your local home depot/lowes.
but you can go a little further and go to your ag center and pick up any sort of Three-Way herbicide. It will treat your broadleaf weeds in your lawn.
The most common one out there (that we use) is called Trimec.
Trimec is stronger than say like Ortho..you do not need to use as much to do the job. It is very safe. A lot of times with the weaker stuff, you need to retreat certain weeds.

trimec or trimec plus is a great spurge killer. it will get rid of all broadleaf and some grassy weeds without harming the fescue.

You can get selective weed killers from garden centres, usually containing things like 2,4,D and Dicamba, mecoprop. Don't use anything like weedol or roundup., it will kill the lot off!

when i need to spray a weed and i don't want to damage the surrounding area, i get get a small paint brush, dip it into the weed killer, then gently paint it on the weed.
