Default Good source for paint and clear coat?

I want to do a project on my own.. painting the cladding on my Jeep as well as front and rear bumpers.

I know I'll need an adhesive.. and I know I'll need the solid color and the clear coats.. but I don't know where I can go locally and buy these items preloaded in cans..

Any thoughts or ideas?

Just spray cans? Autozone or Advance auto have these.

I've bought wheel paint and clearcoat from advance before.

I'm not sure that "professional paint" and "rattle can" have ever been spoken in the same sentence.

SEM makes some good stuff. I have used their plastic interior paint with excellent results. They may have something for exterior paint in a rattle can. There are a couple local distributors/suppliers in Tampa. www.semproducts.com

Yeah, I would have never thought it was available.. however was talking with a gentleman in Arizona who completed the same project I'd like to do.. He said he got all his stuff from a local body shop place.. They matched his paint then loaded it into spray cans. He stressed cans, not guns.. I am rather confused, I didn't think it was available that way.. but I guess I can give it a try.
