favorite brush pant for framesets?

[Bicycle808]

Hi.

I'm thinking about repainting a frame with a brush. What's everyone's favorite brand/style? I was looking at the rustoleum farm equipment paint, in ford blue. http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=104 However,I'm pretty sure that's an oil-based enamel, and I'd heard that acrylic/latex based paints are better? What's everyone's favorite? Any other advice for someone brush-painting a frame for the first time?

Thanks!

if you use good epoxy paint and thin it a bit you can do amazing things, i have seen boots painted with a brush and you would swear they were sprayed.

I brushed the deck on mine... :roll:

I second the use of boat paint, have successfully used Interlux brand products myself:
