    Hello, I'm trying to decide on a touch up spray paint for my 03 Tacoma.
    I don't have an air compressor or a spray gun, so I'm limited to spray paint.
    Just need to touch up a couple of scratches, they're noticeable enough to bother me.
    Can't find much out there, and even fewer reviews. Any suggestions?
    Tempted to just paint it all flat black, lol. Thanks

    Be sure to utilize the correct primer - base
    as that can alter the paint's final tint - hue.

    How many coats of each are applied
    will also be important - critical.

    I have used the same Dupli-color rattle can...
    and have had some difficultly obtaining a perfect match.

    But if applied right... it can be fairly close.

    Practice on a scrap piece
    so you can get it nearer to your match.

    Realize that older paint may have some sun fade
    or other deficiencies that can make it difficult to match
    the original application.

    ...good luck
