Our company needs to paint 36000 of these holes and we currently have two guys painting them with an artist brush. Is there a product out there with the ability to just push it through and get a good coat of paint on it? We are thinking of trying pipe cleaners. Any suggestions?

Try "Bore Mops" for gun cleaning. Your 1/4 inch hole is a .22 caliber mop, the 3/4 is 12Gauge (shotgun). A bore mop is a cloth brus designed to soak up solvent and deposit it on the inside of the barrel of a gun, it whould work just fine for depositing paint on the inside of whatever holes you're drilling, and they cost about a buck each. Your guys could use them like a regualr paint brush - dip it in paint, stick it in the hole, repeat.
Good Luck.

You can paint holes thoroughly and with the proper paint thickness required by using an ordinary vacuum under the hole while you spray paint the entire flat surface. Just make a fixture to place the object onto and pull a vacuum on the hole, not a really strong vacuum, just a slight vacuum. The paint will go right into the hole and even coat threads.
You can paint the hole alone using a mask funnel along with the vacuum, spraying right into the funnel, while over the hole and pulling a vacuum below. That is if you dont need to spray the entire flate surface.

Fill em with paint, then suck out the excess with a Turkey Baster
