I painted my Roadster Connaught green the D type racing green.
I just sanded the body to remove the shiny finish, I used craftmaster primer and then enamel with the largest brush I could.

Agreed that looks good. I advocate brush painting. Lots of people just sneer and say it's rubbish, but this is generally because they have tried to brush paint with cheap brushes and unsuitable paint (ie paint intended to be sprayed) - unfortunately they don't have an open mind. My wife says I have such an open mind you can see daylight if you look into my ear!
I can understand how some people won't use brushed paints on bodywork, but why they will only spray chassis is beyond me........ You get a much thicker (protective) coat with a brush, much quicker and no overspray, and it's out of sight, so if you use a crappy brush it won't show anyway ..... Still, each to his own!
