The spray can paint will last quite a long time.  The main question is,
satisfactory to whom?  I'm satisfied with mine; you may be fussier.  Try
it, and see how you like it.  Rustoleum satin black is, in my opinion, a
good choice for chassis parts and underhood parts that originally were not
glossy.
