Touch-Up paint in a spray can?

Anyone know of someone that makes or can get touch up paint in a spray bottle. I have lots of curbage on my corner splitters, I'd like to refinish and paint the bottom. It's such a minor part that I don't want to spend money to get professionally done, and I'll scratch them up again anyway.

your best bet is to get your hands on a "batch" of paint and use a spray gun on a compressor... cuz i believe that no one makes spraycan factory paint for our cars... unless someone knows different.

Actually,

numerous companies that make spray touch up paint. For example, the link below is for Midnight Black Pearl. Just happens to be my paint color code. Pricey, but easy.

Schuman

seriously jacked up my car's paint. It's never been the same. Took my car back three times. Even had Mr. Schuman involved. I would kill to go back in time.

thats a pretty good guarantee- having a nice spray can of Java Black Pearl can be dangerous in my hands!

They seem to have it, but can someone who is more versed in paint please explain what Groundcoat, Midcoat, Basecoat (I think I know what this is), and Single Stage are? I'm guessing Single Stage doesn't need clearcoat?
