Is it possible to use spray paint and clear-coat on a car and make it look good?

I'm a designer, and an artist, and I want to put black designs on my white camaro. I'm on a budget, so I said to hell with real paint and decals. Is it possible to use spray paint, and do a good job on it, then go over with a spray clear coat? And if so will it look good?Is it possible to use spray paint and clear-coat on a car and make it look good?
NO! I'm attending idaho state university in the auto collision and refinishing program and using a rattle can paint and clear coat on a car espesially a camaro is not a good idea...there are so many things that need to be done like scuffing and sanding the car not to mention the prep stages. Your best bet would be to have someone actually do it for you cause spray paint runs and makes a mess and if you mess up you just screwed yourself out o f a nice car...Is it possible to use spray paint and clear-coat on a car and make it look good?
I presume you're talking aerosol cans. Yes they can look good but may not stay long. Different types of paint don't stick too well unless you break the glaze on the old paint. Then the clear coat may bring back the lustre but not as shiney possibly as the old shine


Try a test in a spot that can't be seen normally, like in the engine compartment or trunk.
the slower drying the spray paint the more durrable it is. also surface must be clean of any wax's etc have you considered purchasing a detail spray gun and using duplicolors quart size paint ? its much much better and will last. spray cans will fade rather quickly. just a sugjestion.
Yes, but only if you know what you are doing. Try practicing on a metal trash can.
you might wanna try that on a piece of plastic or paper first
