I can only assume you mean rattle can as opposed to air assisted application versus paint brush? You can make rattle can work well if you prep properly and pay attention to detail.

Definitely put clear coat over it, but make sure that the two paints will be okay with eachother. I know some clearcoats HATE spray paint and will eat it up.

Use the same brand of paint and clearcoat, and you should be fine.

Personally, I like SEM brand. I seems to lay out even and flows well. I used it on my front bumper and facia. It took/has taken a lot of rock punishment due to traveling on road construction. The SEM paint shows very small dings while the OEM is chipping three times larger.
