I rinse my brushes constantly while painting, especially if I notice the paint is drying fast (due to higher than normal heat or lower than normal humidity for example) and that seems to have helped. One of my first Citadel brushes got wrecked while I was doing a lot of work with Chainmail and Boltgun Metal early on... but once I started with using a jar of water and rinsing constantly it seems to have solved the problem, including when I'm using Dwarf Bronze, Tin Bitz and like a half dozen other metallic paints.

Try rinsing after a few turns of taking paint on the brush, it definitely helps in my experience.
