Rattle can paint is not as good as spray paint, however, you can get the same paint the prof use in a custom spray boom. Eastwood even setup there cans with hardener.
Prep is the most important step.
1. Clean surface area with soap & water 2. Clean surface with degreaser 3. Clean surface with surface prep cleaner 4. Then start sanding/body work 5. Surface prep exposed steel with metal prep and etch 6. Clean surface with surface prep cleaner 7. Prime surface 8. Topcoat /wo sanding (if within same day)
If you skip this process don't surprised to see the paint wash away within a few years.
I can send you photos of what your a quick paint job will look like with poor preparation.
