Yeah, it can be done. it's all about how well it's prep-ed. spray paints, some use good paint and cost more and others have crap for paint. one thing about spray paints even krylon is that the colour(s)from can to can sometimes vary,,,alot .
so buy enough paint at one time to paint the car. i spray painted my -SE and for a spray can paint job it turned out really good. make sure the clear coat is UV rated.
