while I did have it custom mixed, the tank on this was painted with spray cans.

paint is paint it doesnt care what it comes outa,prep and finish are important and most aerosoles today hae sumscreen,thats why inside only pait is less expensive,believe it or not your terminology will help you do a better job,i personally like aerosol and plastic filler vs rattle can and bondo,rattle can somehow says your work is 2ng class,go to a body shop and you might be suprized how many aerosole cans are there,weld through primer for example

I have seen rattle can jobs with TONS of prep- they look great!@

Take your fingernail and pop it off- even with prep-

In my experience, the very expensive auto paints have superior adhesion and plasticity, so if you value your time why not go the extra buck and have something that lasts.
 
You guys do great work

And nice results with rattle cans I must say. My problem is I tend to get in a hurry. That useally ends of in a poorly painted bike.
