for the first time i would recommended flat or satin colors they don't look so blotchy when you spray them on. also would recommended doing light coats so you don't get runs.

Its all in how you control your spray pattern, overlap, air pressure, and speed. But then again if your using a spray can there really is no adjustment for spray pattern and air pressure for proper atomization and mettallic control. Even with satin colors spray painted on you still have that damn tiger stripe problem, so stay away from spray paint and youll be good.
