The single stage will shine just as good as clear if you do it right, if not then sand and buff and it will. You don't need clear for it, but you can get clear mixed.

I'm going to do the same thing this spring summer to my 88 with spray cans because I need new cab corners and repaint the DS fender. Mines a red pearl bottom fading up to straight 88 gm black, with clear of course to lock it in.

We've painted many things, many times this way not having a booth or need a complete repaint. We painted an s-10 bedside about 4-5 coats with a can, the whole bedside top to bottom. That was more then enough and we could cut and buff it later. We done alot of the add on accessories too color matched to the trucks color.
Really good point on the can. Didnt even think about that. The single coat paint, that can be buffed to a gloss? I never seen a good paint with this. I guess maybe the people putting it down were not that great. I will try it and post in the spring. Got about 40" of snow this week so not much going on.
