Best rattle can engine paint?

I use a single stage urethane with an activator over an epoxy primer for a glossy finish. I've also used a mix of around 50/50 base and clear - activating the clear first and then adding the base - for a more semi-gloss or satin look as you can buy clear in a number of different sheens from Gloss to almost Flat.

this doesn't sound like rattle can

Rustoleum for paint, I get primer from the PPG paint store

would you ever consider skipping the high build?

Why not? Spraymax 2k Single Stage aerosol. They can mix most common automotive colours. Lasts 12 hours in the pot once activated. You still need a good respirator. It’s nasty stuff.

if you want to do the base/clear mix you will need a small gun.
