I'm sure with enough practice you might be able to get very even coats
but I think it's tough especially for a wet coat. You're likely to get
enough prints with uneven coats that makes it pretty discouraging. For
consistent results and much superior coats for such a large print you
need either an HVLP system or an air sprayer using a regular
compressor. I use a cheap sprayer/air-compressor system and got
excellent atomization of the coating liquids I use.

I pin the print corners to a foam board, place on an artist painting
tripod, then spray using a water-based solution, then remove the
print, quickly wipe off the overspray using a damp cloth, pin another,
spray, and so on. It's alot easier using pins than tapes to attach the
print to the easel.
