Hello
  You can paint with a brush.  A friend of mine painted their P6 once with a
brush.  They used a nontapering camel hair brush, a couple of tins of solar
guard house paint and a lot of thinners.  Supposedly the finish was quite 
decent from a distance and passable up close.  Care had to be taken to only
applied one coat at a time or the paintbrush would stick to the fast drying
paint.  They did the whole car for $400.  There was a lot of effort in sanding
and the final polishing with Brasso and cotton wool.

  I wonder how durable the marine paint would be on a car?  Might be worth
considering for my bomby corolla.
