What color you painting them? if your going for a satin look then go for it. You won't get a great finish out of a can.

Are you painting Fiberglass or Steel/Chrome??
If fiberglass I would use a can, Duplicolor Low Gloss Black #1634 is what I used on all my plastics, firewall, rearend housing and steering components. It is holding up extremely well!! It also has a good sheen, not dull like flat paint and not to glossy.
If you are going to spray can over chrome I think it is going to be tough to get it to bond, I would call or go on line to Duplicolr and ask what they would recommend.
Good luck

Good prep and a steady hand, I have gotten excellent results from a spray can.

you could also clear it and color sand it..... I have made krylon look professional..... I did a nitrous bottle once that I bought off of ebay it had 3 layers of paint on it so I stripped it and went gloss black then clear and color sanded it and looked better than most expensive paint jobs....

It'll look fine, but will fade considerably faster.
