I know the owner of Classic Fairlady, and I'll see if there's anything we 
can do.

Regarding the Foam Brushes:
The viscosity of the POR is such that after the first brush stroke you apply 
with a new brush after that the foam tends to stick to the surface and 
before long you are picking bits and pieces of the foam out of the paint. 
It literally disintegrates the foam.  Personally, I found it much easier to 
pick out the occassional hair from the el-cheapo brushes than to try to 
fight the bits and pieces of foam brush left on just about every brush 
stroke.

A quick hair removing tool you can make is simple:
Take a piece of wire, not too hard or stiff and using a utility knife cut 
and bend out little tangs out of the general diameter of the wire on one 
end.  Imagine that you are creating barbs in the wire shank to prevent it's 
being pulled out of something if you were to stab it into it.  Then when you 
find a hair in your paint, take your wire and place the barbed end over the 
hair, rotate the wire just a bit and the barbs will grasp the hair... then 
pull the hair out.

Thankfully, POR does flow out rather nicely and if you catch the hair 
quickly enough, you won't even notice where it was.

FWIW
