Paint (VHT Enamel) exterior application???

I've been around the site for some time and have not seen a thread or a diy on any external parts of the car being painted with VHT enamel. and yes i have used the search button. my question is would VHT paint be feasible for painting exterior parts of the car such as hood trunk roof???? any information on the matter will be appreciated oh and yes i will be painting the parts mentioned. thank you in advance...

VHT & other spray can paints are best used for small parts such as calipers, under hood accessories, etc. Getting good consistent coverage over large areas is very hard to do w/ a rattle can. About the largest part that should be painted w/ spray cans would be wheels and even that is pushing it IMO.
