Best touch up aerosol paint

I am about to get my new Mstache 2 in and I was thinking it might look cool to do one of two things.
  • Get it wrapped In Carbon Fiber (but I can't seem to find a place locally than can do it)
  • Get it painted body color

Now I know that it is not going to come out perfect, but when winter comes I am having the hood and bumper redone and that will of course include the Mstache 2. For now just want it to look good until I can get it all done professionally.

Any suggestions for what type /brand? I know my color is 475 (SBM). I am thinking sanding, about 4 coats or primer and then about 4 coats of the paint then clear coat, to see if helps a bit with the dreaded rock chips. BTW this is only for the Mstache2 not the bumper, though I may paint over some fang scratches in the process.

Thoughts?

I've had decent success with paintmatch.com, and bought one of their spray cans when I color matched the reflectors.
