Rattle Can / Spray Bomb fun...
I know the feeling. One tip...if you go with a rattle can clear coat I highly recommend Spray Max clear glamor. It's not cheap about $20 a can but is a really good product. I used about 6 cans on the whole0 car. It turned out great only issue was that there was a lot of texture that had to be wet sanded and buffed. This left the clear a little too thin. After a couple years of washing and sunlight it started to peel. I think had I gotten a thicker layer on it would have been fine.
This is after the roof and hood started to peel. The side still has the clear with no issues. Note the ¹reflection of the white stripe along the bottom. It really shines up nice. It really makes the color pop out at you. Gives it depth. The pictures in my profile are right after I sprayed the clear on. Make sure you let the color dry for a few days before you spray the clear. I just used rustoleum because it was a very close match. It looks good on its own but will fade in a couple years. The clear will protect it from that and give you a showroom shine after you buff and polish. It's work but the results are worth it....
