Do you think people could do a wing respray with a can and get a good enough job to blend with the rest of the car

The message may need to change to "the only way to get a proper job is to go to a pro with a spray booth and they will ....."
Nope.

The only way you'd get a fairly respectable finish is by using a compressor and spray gun, but there are many variables, including: temperature, air pressure, paint viscosity, what type of gun setup you use, what type of thinner you use, user ability, etc...

The only thing I'd be happy to paint using aerosols is interior trims, or maybe small stuff like door mirrors or handles, but it depends on the colour.
