Default Transom paint?

I'd like to paint my transom and I'm wondering if there is a paint that would look good brushed on?

Are the paints like Awlgrip brushable?

Thanks.

I am not an expert but I am about to use awlgrip on my Outlaw and the distributor told me it could be sprayed or brushed with the same gloss finish achieved. I hope this helps.

Awlgrip makes a different activator for brushing/rolling applications. I recently did a non-skiding job and decided to lick a coat in a storage bin while I was at it.
The area was properly primed but not too well sanded... I just slathered it on and a few days later I looked at it and 'holy chit !' I wish I had taken a few more minutes ... It really went up glossy !

A lot of yards have guys that use the 'roll and tip' method for Awlgrip and I hear you can almost compare them with some spray jobs .

AwlGrip and Interlux can Both be brushed on and will look like they are sprayed. You have to use the proper Badger hair brush and take your time andapply a couple thin coats. The prep work is very important also. Make sure you do it when the temp is around 70 Deg and it will lokk just fine.
