Sure. A good auto paint store will help you find the right primer. If you do it with a spray can it will be prone to rock and bug chips in the front. Air dryed paint, lacquer or enamel, just doesn't ever get that hard. With a spray gun, the right components including a flex additive you can get a pretty good result but it ends up being rather expensive with all the pints and quarts you end up buying.

Check out this guy's site:

He's a member here, and seems to be a real bright guy.

All his articles are interesting... but for your particular question, check out his article on Body Colored Impact Strips.
