No, BlackTop Aerosol and standard (non-aerosol) BlackTop use different resin chemistry, with different heat ratings and hardness, even though both are single-stage, single-component black topcoats.
Standard, non-aerosol BlackTop (pint, quart, gallon, 5-gallon) is a moisture-cured 1K urethane. BlackTop Aerosol uses a different system: a professional-grade acrylic lacquer resin, chosen for fast, convenient spray-can application. The difference shows up in the published physical properties: standard BlackTop resists heat to 500°F and reaches 5H pencil hardness, while the aerosol is rated to 300°F and reaches 2H pencil hardness. Both are single-stage, single-component (no hardener, no clear coat needed) and both cure to a black finish, but they are not interchangeable products with identical performance.
