Rattle can trunk lid / options
So I know there will be some instant reactions of “never use rattle cans” but I don’t have the $400 a paint shop wants for this job. As you can see in the pics below I have some peeling I need to fix on the trunk lid. The rest of the trunk lid looks fine. My plan is to remove the wing, sand the entire trunk lid followed by primer, black base coat, and then clear using a 2K product.
My thought is even though rattle cans aren’t ideal, the car is black so color match ~shouldn’t~ be an issue, 80% of the trunk lid is covered by the wing anyway, and I don’t think I can spot fix just the peeling area hence repainting the entire lid.
What do you all think? Am I just asking for trouble here?

I used "automotive touch up" to rattle can a front bumper on my 89 Shelby and it turned out pretty decent. I'd say give it a shot. Prep it good and spray it evenly. Color match is pretty good from that place and you can order primer, base coat and clear and it's not $400. Make sure you order a ask too, that stuff is really smelly.

I have a respirator so I'm good there. I already have some primer & black GM color match but I was going to buy some 2K clear on Amazon which is about $22. Hopefully that'll hold up a little better than the clear at some auto store.
