Rattle can matching paint?

Has anyone had good success using a rattle can to paint small body parts? I'm looking to replace one the side door moldings on my '03 Lariat (Arizona Beige) an would like to paint the part myself. It's kind of weird but those moldings seem to be curling out on the ends and one of those edges must have gotten caught on something and damaged.

Thank you.

I have had great sucess (said in a Borat voice) with Duplicolor. I had to repaint my grill which had faded and the top color matched part of the bumper. Sanded, painted, clear coated, wetsand and buff. Looks perfect.

I used Arizona Beige (the Dupicolor stuff) and it was pretty much a dead on match on my truck.
