very easy to get a finish like that out of cans if you take your time and do the prep properly and take your time when painting and just do light coats
the weather at the minute also helps

rub the item down with wet and dry to give it a key and to smooth it. panel wipe to clean , light coats of colour i done 3 light coats of black and when the colour is tacky , almost dry do light coats with lacquer . leave to dry for atleast an hour to refit. if you want a perfect mirror shine wet and dry and lacquer and spray again . wait to dry and use G3 t-cut and polish
