my husband did our living ceiling by doing a textured plaster & spraying fine opalescent glass chips on it to get a sparkly finish.
The brush should be small and you should tape the ceiling to protect it but otherwise the brush doesn't matter much.
I've used regular paint to paint ceilings. I think that the main difference in 'ceiling paint' is that it is thicker. But I'm not positive. I didn't have any problems using regular paint. In fact, I briefly worked for a painter. I think he just used plain old paint for the ceilings also.
What dries fast is not so much the paint, but the fresh plaster on which the fresco paint is applied. And as the plaster dries the paint unites with it.
What kind of dried paint? What is under the paint on the ceiling? ....on the metal?
As long as you've primed it, you can paint it.
What you are calling "car paint" is probably lacquer based, and would really soak into a plaster ceiling. If you are doing a design or something, this may be appropriate, but other than that, not good for coverage.
He created a set of scaffolding on which he could lay on to paint the ceiling. He used a technique called Fresco where the pigment is mixed with wet plaster and applied to the wall. This meant that he had to know how fast he could paint an area before the plaster dried.
Paint the ceiling first. Work top down.

Sprayed finishes, troweled finishes, and roller textures are among the most popular ceiling textures. You can also run a rag, sponge, or towel through ceiling paint and/or plaster to give it an extremely unique finish.

they paint on to wet plaster so it lasts longer and sets when the plaster sets.
