Best way to know is to try it for yourself, but to cut a story short, yes, you can.

I would imagine you could, but I know it is not recommended.
Alclad dries too fast to brush on, but I don't know about ModelMaster metalizers, like Hiro said, the best is to try yourself/

it will take multiple brushes and generally looks OK on small part. It goes on very thin and nice but hard to get an even layer of color with brushing.

For bigger surfaces, I'd rather use the spray can for a much much better even surface.

Thumbs up

I brush Testors metalizers on all the time on small parts. I doubt you could do large areas without showing brush marks. The trick is to flow it on wet and quick and one coat only.
