brush painting cellulose paint
bad idea or terrible idea?
i'd prefer to spray it obviously, but with the weather as terrible as it is, and my rush to get everything put back together, i'm losing
patience with the weather, it supposed to snow tomorrow and wednesday 
will brush painting look terrible or crap

Depends what you're using it on. If it's something like an axle or wishbone that's going to be underneath bodywork it's
perfectly adequate. If you're painting highly visible areas I would say no chance, particularly if you're talking about large areas. Celly
dries too fast for brushmarks to disappear whilst drying.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

brush it on and flat it down with 1200 paper,
then do it again.with a final flat with 1500 and polish it up. it might be quicker to spray it!

ah yeah, its for my axle. the axle can be seen from the back of the car, so want it to look reasonable, but doesn't have to be perfect. its also
fluorescent paint, if that makes any difference to it?

Id say it will be ok to brush on for the diff just not bodywork.
ps there's something fruity about your recent posts but i cant put my finger on it  
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

You can get brushing thinners for cellulose paint which dries much slower than standard thinners.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'd agree with the posters here. It might be a bigger job to paint it with a paintbrush and then having to prepare the surface again to spray,
than just to spray paint.

Why not use a gazebo? It makes sense: it can be used in most conditions!!! Cheap from Argos, and are great for outdoor mechanics!
