Default painting solartex

I am looking at using solartex on a couple of new projects and before I buy all the covering I want to make sure I get the finish I am looking for.

The first project is a P47 and I want a dull finish on it. When painting solartex with latex is necessary to spray it or can a good finish be had by brushing it on?

The second project is a piper arrow and I am wanting a glossy finish. Is it possible to get a nice glossy painted finish with solartex?

For the arrow I am considering glassing with wb poly as well. However, I hate spraying paint and the idea of sparying an automotive finish on the arrow to get the nice shinny finish is probably outside of my spraying abilities.
