You can use the Roll and Tip paint method with some of the cans of Rustoleum paints. I used the roll and tip method with marine paints on my fiberglass trailer renovation. I did try spray painting it with rattle cans and also spray painting it with a friend pro quality paint sprayer. But both of the spraying methods produced poor looking results. It was much easier to do and a better looking paint job with the roll and tip method.

But do realize that you need a partner working with you, one person rolling, the other tipping off the freshly rolled on paint with a brush. There are lots of youtube videos showing how to get good results with this method. The best part, it cost less than the rattle cans, you get better coverage. You also don't need any expensive equipment including a cartridge style respirator.
