I agree that Montana Cans probably isn't the paint to use if you're trying to refinish a high-end frame.
...that particular brand and product is one of the few color coat paints I've found problematic in use on bike frames.
You can still get it to work (sort of) as a color coat under a 2K glossy clear as your final finish, but it is considerably more difficult to manage.

The range of colors is very tempting, and I fell for that. I would not use the again to paint a bicycle frame.
