Most of the caliper paint I've ever used came in a rattle can. Just wear a glove and spray it into a small cup and dip your brush. I cheated even further and just sprayed right into the cap and wiped the excess when I was done. Also, it doesn't need to be caliper paint. ANY high temp paint will work and those seem to have more variety of colors to choose from.
