I finish of  parts with a layer of coating resin applied to a cured and sanded part. could i paint the part with a spray can ( car paint ?) then sand and coat with coating resin and get a good result?

if so do i need a specific type of paint.

I do not have a compressor etc.

thanks

I think you definitely can achieve good result, but why not just use regular spray can clear coat? instead of apply more layers of resin.

If you're going to use aerosol cans, make sure you spray the parts and then leave them for a good amount of time (I'd give it at least 2 weeks @25 degrees or so) before applying the resin on top. Reason being, aerosols use a lot of solvents that can take quite awhile to evaporate from the part. If you seal it in with resin before all the solvents are gone, you risk trapping them in the paint which will cause it to stay slightly soft and possibly wrinkle up. You could also use a high temperature paint and bake it in the oven, then you shouldn't need to leave it for as long. I'd probably still give it a good week though.
