Coach (brush) painting

Has anyone ever done this or know someone who has? Have seen some recent finishes done by brush and was astounded. Am considering it as an option as my father-in-law is a master painter and very accomplished when it come to brush work.

Anyone heard of Craftmaster Paints? Can they be bought in Australia or is there an equivalent?

I used to work for a fellow who painted his trucks by hand but it was only because he didnt have a spray gun.

Interested to know what you find.

Here's a link to a Leyland TD4 that I have been following, that was painted with a brush. I'm thinking of using a two pack primer, with an enamel brushed top coat. As Swishy said warm the paint up (water or put it in the sun for a couple of hours) Still havent worked out how to paint the roof of my bus yet.

Thanks guys. Barry and my father-in-law had mentioned the hot water technique. Turns out my f-i-l painted a Mini in the 70s with coach paint and the result was impressive.

Hey Andy I have some items you can practice on if you like! How are you at painting flames?

Better at making them, Bruce!
