I repainted my mirrors using rattle cans from O'Reilly's (Duplicolor). It is the same paint code as my truck, but after spraying them, I found that it needed to be cleared to have a gloss. So, it got a clear-coat. Still need to wet sand it to have it be as nice as possible, but that will have to wait for a warm day.

So, my answer is that yes, it is (or can be) a 2-stage paint from a rattle can.
