Dupli-ColorEBGM05067 Perfect Match Automotive Spray Paint – General Motors Indigo Blue Metallic, 39 WA9792 – 8 oz. Aerosol Can

I scrapped the front spoiler of my car on a curb. Many white marks too deep to remove with scratch repair, rubbing compound, etc. I've used the small touch up bottles before for paint repair, but they are not smooth and leave obvious paint lines on the repair. Decided to do a full spray of 1/4 of the spoiler with Victory Red Dupli-Color.Before doing so I watched several videos on auto paint repair. A few points that stand out from the videos. Preparation is key. The paint area has to be degreased and absolutely clean. Light coats are better than heavy coats. You need to use primer and clear coat if you want a professional finish. To that end, I applied two coats of primer, four coats of paint, and two coats of clear coat. The color matched perfectly and from a distance you would not know the spoiler had been painted. Up close, the painted area is a bit higher in texture due to the 8 coats of primer, paint and clear, but I wanted to assure the paint would not peel, which is a common paint repair problem particularly on composite nonmetallic parts. If you want a smoother finish, a coat of primer, two coats of primer of paint and one or two coats of clear may work better.The paint itself is an exact match. I did not use Dupli-Color primer or clear, but rather a name brand substitute. This worked fine. If you decided to take on this project, make sure you have a respirator. This paint definitely has more fumes than regular spray paint. Also, paint on a day when you can keep you garage door open. I don't recommend spraying outside as this increases the chance of overspray. Mask off everything you don't want painted and tarp your floor as the spray will descend on a wide area of the floor.With a little bit of patience, work and adherence to directions, anyone can do this project. My guess for a body shop to do a similar project would be around $500, as they would remove the spoiler and likely paint the entire spoiler. Time and labor add up even on small repair projects. I know this from experience as the same car was t-boned by someone who ran a red light and the repair costs was $18,000, most of it body and paint related. I paid $40 for all paint and masking tape. Save yourself some money and do it yourself.

Shook can repeatedly, no paint comes out. Just runny Thinner comes . Drips all over .ruined my paint job

Paint matches well, but I should have bought twice as much. It only covered about 8 square feet for me.

Honestly no complaints. Easy to use and matches fairly well.

The paint is very good and covers well however we all know “universal white” is a boast that can’t be real. White comes in many shades. Beware this paint is a YELLOW white and will not blend with a cool white.

My gas door fell off and had to get a new one. I'm not a auto body person but what the dealership wanted to replace it was astronomical and decided to try it myself. I thought for sure the paint wasn't going to match my 2009 truck but you can't even tell the difference. 3 coats of paint, 4 coats of automotive clear coat. Very happy with the color matching.

Spot on match. After sanding properly and priming the surface, then spray light coats from the required distance and waiting times, there wasn't any problem. Clear coat to finish. Looks great!! I have a 2004 Toyota. Looks like it was built yesterday

I’ll just get the negative part of this review over with now. When I received the can I couldn’t help but notice it was about half the size of any other spray paint can. With that said I had more than enough for one guitar. Now with out of the way. It went on effortlessly. Nice smooth, even coats and dried amazingly fast. Didn’t have any fish eye. Slight over spraying with the metal base coat but that was my fault and was easily sanding out. The thing is in order to get it to look good you need to get all the prep work done correctly. If you don’t it’s your fault you did a shitty job. Not the paint. Of course you are going to want to use a primer first. Then they sell something called metal cast 100. Very important. You need to use this stuff if you are spraying anything not metal like wood. if you want your color coat to look like metallic red. It’s the color of metallic silver so when you spray your transparent red over it you get the metallic look. Second anyone who says that the paint or the nozzle doesn’t flow evenly. Here’s a tip that will save you a lot of time and hassle. They have these attachments for $5 a piece that attaches to any spray paint can and turns the uneven spraying into fine and even coats as if you were using a paint gun. If you are trying to paint something with a rattle can and you keep have problems with running paint and/or overspray and you don’t use this simple device I honestly have no sympathy for you. When used with one of those you will have great results. If you don’t then you have no one to blame but yourself. Also to those of you you have said the nozzle stopped working. Odds are the hole that the paint comes out of just has dried paint blocking the paint from coming out or coming out evenly. Simple soap and water should fix that (how did you swap one cap for another with this paint?). For best results remember this anocronym AKCMAlwaysKeepCanMovingNever let your hand stop moving if your finger is in that trigger. Especially with colors like these. Otherwise it will look uneven. Darker in some spots and lighter in others or the dreaded overpainting an area. If you make a mistake you don’t have to start over. Remember just be patient and let it dry and you can then just sand the mistake out.

No issues

It was used for being the correct colour match for a car manufacturers paint.
