You could try that. I've never done it that way. I'm always trying to get a real even covering, and that's hard to do if you stop. I think I would spray very light coats and try to keep it even. I don't want to scare you into paranoia about runs, I just want you to be aware of what you will be dealing with. If you are careful, it won't be a problem. Just remember, you can always add another coat after it dries. The natural tendency is to "just spray a little more"... and there is also the natural tendency to get the can closer to the cabinet when you go around a corner.
