My Honda dealer's parts department only sells the small bottles of touch-up paint. Does anyone know if spray cans are also available in our cars' colors? If so, can you get them at Pep Boys, Kragen, etc.? Thanks

The only way you can use spray paint is if you're gonna paint the entire body panel. If you just spray at the chipped paint area, you'll get a glossy center with a rough spotty paint pattern around it.
Also, if you're set on using a spray, OVERMASK the area you're not painting. If you're spraying your front bumper for example, I'd even mask the windshield. Nothing sucks more than fixing your bumper, only to find out you just gotten overspray on your hood, winshield, headlamps, etc.!

My front spoiler (the add-on) was scrateched by a valet parker, and the bottom is getting pretty beat up from dips in the road. I was just thinking of doing a light sanding and spraying the whole thing with a can of paint. Thanks for the advice though.
