Is it okay to apply matt or gloss varnishes with a brush?

Hi guys I wanted to buy some gloss and matt clear coats suchas the Tamiya X22 or XF86 respectively. I was thinking of buying the acrylic 10ml paint pots because the spray can versions are a little expensive but I wanted to know if they give a good finish when applied with a brush?

I was thinking gloss for applying decals to tanks and then the matt for the last cote. What do you think?

Be careful with some matt, some manufacturers matt frosts up, give a nice little coat and they dry white. I use Hannants acrylic matt varnish and have had no problems easily sprayed and brushed, as for Gloss i use Johnson Klear also sprays and brushes well with the added bonus of drying quickly. Its a choice of taste really other people will swear by other brands. Whatever you choose test it on an old kit first.

Hope this helps.
