Thats exactly how i did mine. Check with local paint suppliers. Here in Oklahoma there is a shop that will put it in a can, costs like 13 bucks for one can and the paint. Came out perfect. The only thing is make sure that you keep the nozzle clean and shake it like crazy cause the metal flakes and clog it easily and if you dont shake it enough, the flake wont be even. If your using automotive paint though, it will look dull if you dont put a clear on it. I just put a couple coats of automotive clear coat on it and it looks sweet. Make sure the clear you buy is intended for automotive paint though, not all of them will work correctly. You will also need a plastic primer, i used SEM Flexible surface primer, paint, and Ultra enamel clear coat.

^^ Beat me to it! There should be some automotive paint places near you and they can get the paint and have it put in spray cans for you. I have had it done before and it worked perfectly!

So what do you do first? Paint it with plastic primer, paint , then clear coat? Does it have to be hight temp primer?I don't need to wet sand it right?

I lightly sanded with some 220 grit paper, 2 light coats of primer, then light coats of paint (space each coat about 15-20 minutes apart, this isnt just spray paint and it needs to cure inbetween coats or else it wont dry) then i waited about an hour before putting a clear on it. Wet sanding isnt needed and no you dont need a high temp primer. Just regular automotive products will do. Try to buy it all from one place, and make sure they are for automotive paints.
