I have a Pfister "brushed nickel" vanity light in my own bath that has rusted out, they just couldn't be bothered to put a thick enough plate on it.

I always prefer spraying over brushing to avoid adding any roller or brush marks if possible.  

Patrick, go to Autozone on Jackson Ave with a paint brush in your hand or find the guy with paint on their clothes.  

I was working on a flip last summer, we sprayed the house in a couple of hours, the next door neighbor was using a brush, took him a couple of months.

Don't go cheap on a brush either.  

As for painting, don't buy cheap brushes or roller covers. 

I would imagine you had success with your mural because it was a lot of brush work, and the paint was properly loaded.Go to your local Sherwin Williams and ask for pro block oil base primer.

Since I don't own a texture spray gun anymore I just do a "random" drag on mine, no 2 square yards look alike.I just take a heavy texture brush and dip it into slightly thinned joint compound and "splook" it onto the ceiling.
