Default Painting use a can or gun

I'm getting ready to paint the inside doors on my 64.5 conv. There is not much area to cover since the panel takes up most of the door.
Ques - is using an aerosol can just as effective as a spray gun for a small area as this?

I say use a spray can ...I did, and mine came out great
I stripped them down with acetone and 00 steel wool then primed and painted them with aerosol cans.
I have seen fantastic results with spray cans on many different parts

yeah man, just use the spray cans. If you dont have the spray gun or the compressor, or don't know how to use one...safest bet would be the cans. They come out really nice and no one will know the difference. But just a tip.. do a light coat at first and let it dry a lil, then apply another coat until you get it like u want.

The quality of spray cans has gotten a lot better over the years. I would definitely go that way.
