Go to Walmart and get a soft makeup brush.

Anti-static brush thingy. Yeah I got one but barely use it.
 

If it’s cheap grab one. I only use it every now and then in between coats of paint. It will only remove some light dust. So it is good for a quick clean and to remove any static but that’s about it.

I've got one. I brush my car bodies before I paint them. I also use it on my models right before I photograph them. I'm not sure how to describe it but it is a super light touch. It is not meant to get stuff out of panel lines or something like that.  It will take light dust particles off of the surface.  Can I say with 100% certainty that you will never get dust in your paint?  Nope.  Do I think it works for what it is intended for?  Yup.

Agree with Nacho z.  It’s less than $20 and worth having it. Works great.

The brush is a worthwhile investment, in my opinion.  Dust in my paint has been virtually eliminated.

 The small end of the brush has stiffer bristles under the metal cap. This end works well for removing stubborn particles.

It's really a $15 brush at best.  You could get them for $10 from plazajapan which is a great site, but shipping is killer.  $20 for a brush is no different than $20 for a quality paint brush.
