Yep. I tried brushing the Por-15 on the pan, wasn't quite what I was looking for, too much area, and yeah it's a smoother finish.
First time out tried spraying it on bolts. Got frustrated and decided to save the gun for professionals. He's a great painter and that, tried matching the color. Different paints and application with a clear coat, doesn't exactly match but oh well. Maybe I'll do something different with the valve covers at a later date, in a state of boredom.
Sure brushes nicely on cast iron though. I got to the point all I use are small foam applicators. They're only about 1/2" or so. Finished this the other day.....
