Yes, BlackTop is formulated to brush on smoothly and self-level, so a brushed finish looks close to sprayed if you avoid overworking the brush.
Do not overwork the brush. Going back over the same area repeatedly forces solvents out of BlackTop early, which can cause it to cure too quickly and leave visible brush marks.
You can absolutely brush on BlackTop. It is formulated to self-level so a brushed application looks close to sprayed once cured. The technique that matters most: brush an area with BlackTop and move on immediately, rather than brushing the same spot over and over. Repeated brushing forces solvents out of the coating too early, which can cause it to cure too fast and leave visible brush marks that do not flow out.
Frequently Asked Questions: Brushing BlackTop
Yes, BlackTop is formulated to be brushed, rolled, or sprayed, and a brushed application self-levels to look close to sprayed once cured.
