Can I brush on the BlackTop paint or does it have to be sprayed?

It is formulated so that when brushed, it looks like it has been sprayed. When brushing, do not overwork the brush — brush an area and move on immediately. Overbrushing forces the solvents out too quickly, which can cause the coating to cure before the brush marks have a chance to flow out.

Brush an area and move on immediately &mdash; do not go back over the same area repeatedly. Overbrushing forces the solvents out of the coating before they can do their job, causing BlackTop to cure too quickly and leaving visible brush marks that won't flow out as designed.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Before you begin, review the complete BlackTop application instructions for full prep, brushing technique, and cure guidance.</p><table style="background-color:#f5f5f5;border-collapse:collapse;border-left:4px solid #cc0000;border-radius:4px;margin:20px 0;width:100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:16px 18px;"><p style="color:#1a1a1a;font-size:15px;margin:0 0 6px;"><strong>Ready to Apply BlackTop?</strong></p><p style="color:#444;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px;">Get the full BlackTop directions and shop BlackTop &mdash; a UV stable, self-leveling coating that brushes on like a spray finish.</p><a style="background-color:#fff;border:1px solid #999;color:#1a1a1a;display:inline-block;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:8px;margin-right:10px;padding:9px 18px;text-decoration:none;" href="https://kbs-coatings.com/blacktop-directions" target="_top"><strong>BlackTop Directions</strong></a><a style="background-color:#cc0000;color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:8px;padding:9px 18px;text-decoration:none;" href="https://kbs-coatings.com/blacktop" target="_top"><strong>Shop BlackTop</strong></a></td></tr></tbody></table>
