Having used both, I actually perfer the brush. The kit comes with everything for under $20. Only thing you might need is some thinner for when the paint dries on the brush in between calipers.

^^Heres a post of mine when I did it to give you an idea of what to expect. If I was using the spray then I would have masked off ALOT more of an area.

Good luck with it!

I would take it all off, apart, clean, sand, clean, paint, reassemble, blead breaks and etc...

Just depends on what kind of results your looking for.

I used the brush, did not have to remove anything, covered very little and it went smooth!
