complete paint noob here, but a couple of coats + sanding could flatten a bit the paint and might eliminate a bit the brush marks maybe? that way manufacturer recommendation (brush) is respected and the brush marks could be a bit less, but in any case as it is for a MTB the brush marks/industrial look might give a cool result maybe?
That is an option yes. I will have to do more research, but personally I don't think I am willing to spend hours and hours on paint jobs. And I think the brush aesthetics could be refreshing in a sea of posh candy colour fades
