I spray painted my c6 and this is what it looked like after 4 years. Sorry for bad Pic but it's the only one I can find on my phone and sold it for the c7. Also it wasn't washed for awhile when I took the pic. It turned out a lot better than I thought. I used finger nail polish for the letters but should of done something different. This is the paint I used and is good to 900°

Go to a real auto paint shop. They have the paint codes for your car. They can mix up a custom can of high temp paint that would match your car. They also have the primer required and the top coat. It will be at least a 3 step process. And the prep is the most important part. I did the rear of my vet and you can't tell it ever had a scratch. The same material the pro's use.
I have never seen good results from a rattlecan. Assuming excellent prep work, they all look great on day 1 but if you do daily drive, it dulls off quickly. I would spend the money getting it professionally done if I really wanted to do the job. Yes, a lot of time is spend in prep which is what you pay for but the powdercoating is really going to be the longest lasting.
