A good if not very good Sable haired art brush will be perfect.. Nice long bristles (hairs) but not too long.. Short ones tend too be more stiff so you want flexibility..

I cant comment on the one pictured as not used it

To be honest, you can literally apply Klear with a lump of shredded Rhubarb!
I've used it for years and I've tried brushes, folded kitchen towell and small sponges.
It ALWAYS dries flat and glossy.
It really is the model car builders dream finish.
If paint was this easy to apply, we would all have showroom car finishes on our kits.
The ONLY thing you need to watch is putting too much on a vertical surface, so you get runs or sags.
If I'm putting it on a car body, I do it in stages - The upper surfaces first, let it dry, then turn the body on its side and do that one (so the Klear is still going on a horizontal surface, hence no runs) then turn the body over and do the other side the same way.
It dries in about 5 mins in a warm room.
Around three coats finished off with a 'yellow' duster and you'll chuckle to yourself with pride.
I've NEVER known it to react or go wrong over ANY kind of paint, surface, or decals.
If you haven't used it before, don't fret - DO IT. You won't regret it!
My McLaren will get the 'Klear' finish.

Roy.
