Default Brush on engine paint?

Reason for brush on is that up here in the north, it’s kinda hard to spray indoors in the winter. And sure don’t feel like constructing a tent to paint in in my shop.
I’ll keep searching for a brush on.
Thanks guys

One trick I use for painting in the garage during cold weather is to put a space heater near the object that I’m painting and just let it warm to between 65-75 degrees. While it’s warming up, soak your spray can in hot water for 5-10 minutes. The paint will spray smoothly without spatter and adhere without issue just like a warm summer day. Just be sure to turn the space heater off (or any other heat sources for that matter) prior to spraying, including if you have a gas water heater in the garage area. Also dry the paint can off well and wrap it in some paper towels so you don’t drip water on the project.
