It should turn out well.
I did my golf cart with spray paint and it turned out pretty good. Just have a can of clear ready. I gave it about twenty minutes between coats. Went from four coats of black to 4-5 coats of clear. I had to let it dry for about two days as it became cloudy, which it said it would on the can. Finally all of the cloudiness went away.
I wet sanded it with 600, then 1000, then 1200, the buffed it and it really turned out nice. I have a friend who paints for a living and said I could not paint it with spray cans so I was on a quest to prove him wrong. It turned out really well for my first paint job. Should be a lot more manageable with smaller parts.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
