Believe it or not, back in the early 1900's Rolls Royce applied lacquer paint with a chamois. They would dip it in a bucket of color, lay it on the surface and pull it across to deposit the material. They would build up multiple coats, then block sand and buff. When the goal is to coat an area that will be unseen anyway, a brush can be an effective tool. The only advantage of a spray gun in those circumstances is getting the material into all the nooks and crannies.
