Easy Way to Apply Lacquer to Metal Pieces?

Well I've put a lovely patina on my copper components and now it is time to apply a protective coating. I have found lacquer is the very best protector as it doesn't affect the color of the patina, but I use the liquid form and it is messy. Today I will be looking for a brush that is best for lacquer. I hate brush strokes on the copper components and when I dip the component in the lacquer there is always dripping to some degree and it causes an uneven application. Are there any secrets?
Fall is still beautiful in Tucson in the morning. Next week at this time I'll be at Oktoberfest and the weather for the 4 days looks GREAT! Hope it doesn't change...
