This DIY aerosol can method may not be for everyone, but I do receive a lot of questions about using spray cans. If you do not have a paint gun and you want to make a touchup repair yourself, this may be an option for you that you can do at your home. First find color code by entering your cars make, year and model. You will see every color for your specific make and model.
The methods shown in the videos are basically the same as you normally would use when blending using a spray gun. I have a video that explains why blending is necessary and how it works. Be certain to pay attention to their masking instructions. Taping squares will not look good…this will be very noticeable and will not match correctly. This is true with aerosol cans or spray guns.
Also be sure to watch how they blend the new paint into the old paint, which will provide a good color match. Learn more or find your color code at www.CollisionBlast.com/ATU
