Can you ship spray cans and topcoat from Japan?

Does the destination change the answer?
No. We checked all nine destinations this site covers and the four services give the same answer to every one of them, because the rule is about the item rather than the route.

Why this matters before you bid
A proxy will happily accept the order and buy the item for you. The refusal happens later, when the parcel reaches their warehouse and is inspected. At that point you have already paid for the goods, the domestic shipping inside Japan and the service fee, and none of it comes back. The item is disposed of or returned to the seller at your cost.
On the ¥10,000 order priced above that is ¥11,200 gone before the parcel ever leaves Japan — the item, ¥700 of domestic postage and the service fee — with disposal charged on top at some services. The international postage is the only part you save, because the parcel never ships. It is the one mistake on this site that costs you the whole purchase rather than a few hundred yen of margin.
