Custom painters do gradients with a spray gun, why wouldn't a spray can work?
Of course it will, and you don't need a fucking airbrush.
A spray can, a steady hand, and (optionally, for more control) a piece of cardboard as a hand held mask (held away from the surface so as not to make a too-sharp line) works just fine.
Get some rattle cans and practice on a piece of white art paper until you can get a nice, repeatable gradient. Paint the white first, fade in the black over top.
