I used it on my old car to paint some small items such as a grill surround. The paint match was pretty good for a dark blue metallic paint but their clearcoat sucks. another option is www.levineautomotive.com and get the u-pol clearcoat. But for small items I'd honestly recommend getting real paint and either using an airbrush or one of those disposable spray guns (glass can and a canister of propellant - I forget the name but they are available at any body shop supply store). I used one in the past and it has great coverage.

Check out http://www.towerpaint.com
I used it to paint my engine cover, battery and fluid covers and it's an excellent match. All you need is the paint code to order some.
