Engine bay painting procedure?

I got the engine bay painting of Crypty in pretty
decent shape during the time when Crypty had no carbs,
no manifolds, no dizzy, no wires, no radiator,
no alternator, no battery, etc. It was easy to strip
paint, get clean metal, mask off areas and rattle can
primer snf apint.

Now the engine is operational again and I have areas
that need attention due to brake fluid eating up paint
when some hoses exploded. There are now areas impossible
to spray with rattle cans.

I can get computer matched auto paint in 1/4 pint cans.
Has anyone ever used paint and brush and gotten decent
results in the engine bay?

Thanks
