Seeking Your Experience & Advice re: Rattle Can Body Painting

[Bluesky 07]

I have several pieces in need of OEM paint, namely my outside mirrors, hatch garnish, and the little panel just in front of the hood scoop. Suggestions, advice, and any other feedback or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I already have the paint; got a single-stage can of 1D4 (Titanium Metallic) mixed by a local auto paint supplier. I was surprised it was only $35.

Like most Jeeps, the roof on mine was black and I hated it. In the Nevada sun in summer the heat absorption was awful. So I painted it...took 7 cans of Krylon Fusion Colonial White Paint. Thing to remember when rattle can painting is to prep the surface well (must be very clean) and put down many thin layers of paint and not try to change the color with just a couple sprays. Mine still looks good after 10 years:
