You can get much better paints in a regular can than the junk they put
in
spray cans.

I concur.

For very small projects (this one I'm doing is about 10-12 square inches),
can you buy small quantities of quality paint? Where?

Thanks.

Buy the smallest cans you can get and learn how to seal a paint can well
after using it. I have alkyd resin cans that are 20 years old and the paint
still goes on and dries just fine.

I run a bit of propane into a paint can if I need to keep it around
for a long while. I learned that after letting a gallon of Waterlox
gel up on me. sigh It's far cheaper than Bloxygen. I now have a
tank of argon, so that'll likely be used next time.
