How long ago did you do that? I painted mine similarly, with meticulous prep, and it started flaking in about 6 months.

Did mine in G2 and had it color matched to IBM for $100.

Yes. When you open the can though you wont think so, I thought it wouldnt be enough. The can is only like half full. But it covered mine fine and that was even with 3 coats.
