Actually, it's quite common for body shops and others to use air brushes for touch-up. It takes skill to do, but I've had it done with terrific results.

Any professional will tell you that brush-on will always be lumpy and aerosol can sprays are the absolute thinnest pants there are and will never look right or last.

As far as "Dupli-Color" goes, it works ok, matches pretty good, but you'll never achieve a finish even close to the original. A pro will color-match, not simply use paint off-the-shelf.

Cheers,

Bob

Never approach a dock any faster than you want to hit it.

No matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd.
