Color coat application

Hi guys,
I know some of you have used Sem Color Coat with a lot of success. I'm going through the whole ritual with the prep and the sand-free pretreat, etc. I'm actually getting a custom color of the SEM mixed and I'm wondering whether I should do the aerosol or the pint can. Anyone brush it on versus spray it on and, if so, would you recommend that?
Thanks,
Chad

All I’ve done is spray. Works well, but prep is a must.

If I was to get a pint can I would spray it on as I have the equipment.

I used a pint with a Preval spray head. I think it's much more economical to get the pint but with the Preval sprayer kit (they have them on Amazon) you have the best of both worlds.
