I don't mind spraying the BIN with HVLP, but I hate the idea of
spraying a high VOC paint to get something to dry faster, so the
rattle can, considering the relative small size of the piece, might
do the trick.

You certainly can use a rattle can and in fact some of the products out
there today from Krylon shoot amazingly well for a rattle can. If you pay
attention to your overlaps you can get a really nice finish with them. I've
used Rustoleum rattle cans too, but not as much. The little bit that I did
worked well enough.

I'd still go with the HVLP though Karl - you'll be able to get a better coat
down, less liklihood of streaks from where you might not have overlapped
well, and a better atomization. You have a large enough area that I'd feel
better with a good 8-10" fan from a gun. To get that from most rattle cans
you have to hold back too far and then you start getting into dry spray
problems.
