I used two tools myself. The first a simple handheld hack saw for "strip" 4130 for the simple straight and L brackets etc. All my shaped parts were water jet cut.

That might be a hard color for them to match with out a sample. As for the Poly brush you can order it untinted. The quart p/n is 09-04110 and the Gallon p/n is 09-04210. The Poly-tak is clear.
