I haven't got to my sheet metal on my WD project yet. However the smaller parts like oil pan, valve cover, frame rails, I painted with a brush. Castings, which are rough always come out OK with a brush. I have been priming with RustOleum white primer, one coat. Them brushing on True Value orange, which is close to AC orange. I am working on the gas tank now. Here I am going with two coats of primer at least, sanding between, then with a good brush I am going to brush on the finish. It will be good enough that from 6' away you won't be able to tell i think. I think brushing on the primer gets it into the imperfections in the surface better than spraying. Use a good wire wheel in a angle grinder or electric drill, scrape, hand wire brush too. Clean with solvent before painting to make sure all oil and grease is gone. Good luck with your project.
