not sure how well rattle cans can withstand the long spray duration on large panels as pressure inside the can drops as you spray. that is the limiting factor for using rattle cans... the fan nozzles are usually pretty decent.

one reason why when i paint wheels, i use 3-4 rattle cans simultaneously (not in both hands lol) and spray layers from each can taking turns before pressure drops. and keep the cans in the sun, warm to the touch.
What happens when the pressure drops? I've done 3 cans so far and all is good. I have 6 over head lights in my little 1 car garage with a painted white wall and when I spray I make sure I see the reflection during coat 3-4 so it's laying solid wet.

I do that too! One can was getting low so I only used it for the edges so the can was level. Then a new can was used to spray horizontal over the parts. And its 90 in my garage. In the winter I'll use a hair dryer and stick them in my paints to keep warm haha.
