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?
Tried this in-between sanding idea. It might be good actually. Let see how it dries up. Here is photos of three layers. The more even one is sanded lightly with scotchbrite after two layers.
looks cool, flattens it a bit without eliminating all of the brush marks, that could be cool indeed and allow to control the amount of brush marks and their presence which gives an additional option for the paint! frame looks great btw
