One of the challenges with metallic from rattle cans is the amount of overlap it takes with the small spot pattern from their spray nozzle. Overlap changes the density of the metal flake in that area compared and changes the tone of the paint.
APS Tower paint uses rattle cans with a fan spray pattern similar to a small spray gun so it gives you a better chance of getting a finish that matches. It's still very challenging, but it gives you a better chance.
Prep is where the battle is won or lost though. No spray technique no matter how good it is can overcome poor prep.
Last tip - because they're afraid of getting a run most people spray from too far away so the paint loses some of it's atomization and partially dries before it gets to the surface. Get to the recommended distance, hold that, and use speed of movement to control application, don't vary the distance.
