Right-angle paint brush for tight spaces?

I'm not sure of this is the correct forum for this question.

Does anyone know of a small craft or art paintbrush in which the bristles are at a 90 degree angle to the handle? I have to do some painting after some pieces have already been assembled and in which the exposed area for painting is in a very tight space - too tight for the traditional brush handle. Normally I would paint before assembling, but in this case, I have to assemble first. I suppose I can make my own brush by chopping off the bristles I need and somehow re-attaching them to some sort of handle. Or maybe using a cotton swab where the stick portion has been bent...

Thoughts anyone?
 
I don't know of ones that are 90 degrees, but 45 is pretty common. However, the ones I'm familiar with are very fine. Just do a search online.

If you can find what you want with a plastic handle, you can heat it and bend it yourself. :)

Thanks. A 45 degree brush angle could work. I hadn't thought of bending the handle!! Almost all of my brushes have wood handles, but I know they also make them in plastic.
