I've never seen one brush finished either

Something has been daubed on with a shaving brush. But a layer of some protection is better than no layer of protection

Was suncorite black like that, or is it black paint?

[Peter Laidler]

Difficult to explain the correct sunkorite finish but look at an example of BDL's refinishing. This No5 looks like it's been painted with a shaving brush dipped in Valspar super gloss!

Sunkorite it a bit of a temperamental paint and has to be kept stirred to keep the particulates active and mixed but the after baking finish, it's a deep, black hard satin finish. Copied by many and many 'substitutes' but none (?) have succeeded

So I take it this is not good.
