I'm seen great results with "rattle can" jobs. If your painting the whole car a generic color like white without matching a current color it's a good idea. Just like you said using a 2k clear (with hardener) coat is key. I think you should go a little more in depth with your process though. Example wet sanding, higher grit sand paper.
Mind everyone, I wouldn't do it to a whole car but for repairs on a small section why not? I'm doing this on my front lip soon hopefully I see result like yours. Good luck!

That's what I'm doing
More in depth?!? I'll sum the first page!
Scotch bright the clear
acetone
primer 3-4 coats
dry 48hr
wet sand primer with 600
isopropyl alcohol
3-4 coats color
3-4 coats clear
Dry 48hr
1500 wet sand clear
2000 wet sand clear
Rough cloth rubbing compound
Micro fiber cloth polish
Dry a month
Carnoble wax
It doesn't get more in depth than that. And all I've read 2000 vs 3000 is no different unless you have magnifying eyes. For a track car 2000 is plenty. Its glossy and parked next to a Hyundai yesterday the orange peel looked like a pepperoni pizza. Its a amazing the little things you start to see when you've done something personal.
Thanks, I need a new arm though. Getting tired.
