Does anyone believe that if I bought this product

the tail light covers come unpainted
and used paint from paintscratch.com to paint it with the aerosol can they sell with the same color paint would it come out any good?

Rattle can = spraypaint. The can rattles when you shake it.
I know someone with a professional spray gun and ordered some Flint Mica paint (1E0) online. The covers were cleaned, sanded a bit with a fine sandpaper, cleaned again and sprayed using the afforementioned spray gun. Four coats of color, two coats of clear.
You can find spray paint cans with factory colors online and DIY. The only problem there is spray cans don't usually leave a nice finish (rough and orange peel textures) but wetsanding will get rid of that.
