    Hopefully truss rod adjustment is not frequently required and therefore placement should not be a functional issue, more an aesthetic aspect.

    An ultra violet or magenta shade in high gloss would look great.

    Hi Ozzie,
    Cheapie 1" to 2" brushes from BGSFOS which can be cleaned up in turps.
    I tended to use mostly cheapest 1" and throw them after 2 coats.
