If you use rattle can paint under the hood use the 500F stuff.  Any spray
paint out of a can you use will not be very durable and is harmed by
solvents.

But Duplicolor has a color to match I'm sure if that is the key thing.

  haha, no I'm not going to spray paint my car. However,
  I'm thinking of getting a can or two off the
  duplicolor OEM exact match stuff to spray parts of my
  engine bay that were unpainted from the factory. If
  this stuff works well enough, I might do other areas
  of the engine bay that are much more visible (my
  engine bay paint really doesn't match the exterior
  paint at all). Has anyone used this stuff before?

  I assume I should follow the sand, prime, paint,
  possibly wet sand, and maybe clearcoat process? I
  understand that most aerosol spray clearcoats tend to
  yellow with heat and age. I don't want yellowed blue
  paint...

  Obviously this won't look as good as doing it properly
  but I'm hoping that it'll look better than it
  currently does...
