I'm looking to brush the paint on to my Model A Coupe, but can't find any brush on car paint here in the U.S. (I only saw a company that sells brush on coach paint in the UK). Does anybody know any brush on car paint brands? I've also been watching YouTube videos using oil-based Rustoleum paint where it's mixed 50/50 with mineral spirits and then either brushed or rolled on and then tipped.

If I use the Rustoleum paint, do I also need a clear coat? I've seen it done with and without it. I've also seen people do anywhere from 1 - 5 coats of the Rustoleum. I'm only looking for a low shine, so I'd probably use semi-gloss, but don't know if the paint will be ok by itself and how many coats I should put on.

I'm also rolling an epoxy primer on beforehand.

Thanks.

John
