I got the brush on, I've never even heard of a spray touch up paint. Maybe you can call one of those 2 places and ask them if they can get you some.

Automotive touchup gave me perfect match for magnetic black(G41). Their basecoats are urethane acrylic, but primer and clearcoat are lacquer based. You will need clearcoat along with the color.
The caps that come with it get nice coverage.
You will have to wetsand and compound/polish to acheive good results after the paint cures.
Also, I recommend painting the whole panel, because blending lacquer clear coat into the catalyzed urethane paint that comes on modern cars is very hard.
Hope that helps.

Default Something else to consider...

Although you can achieve great results with lacquer clear, here's a link to a 2 part urethane clearcoat in a spray can.

http://www.sgcardetail.com/prodView.asp?idproduct=620

This is a two part urethane clearcoat in an aerosol can. You have to activate the catalyst and then use the clearcoat within 24hrs. After 24hrs, the clear will be hardened inside the can. One time use.

I've never used this product(or the store in the link), but I plan to in the future. Two part urethane has many benefits over the lacquer clear that AutomotiveTouchUp sells. Most notably hardness, UV protection, and cure time before polishing.

go to your local autobody shop> bring your color code from your car > buy a pint of paint & clear > go to home depot and buy the spray can that comes with a reservoir ( costs 7$? )..if you run out of air u can buy refills costs 3$ each. there you go. How ever, I do no recommend doing this if your trying to paint a bumper lol.

Ive been looking for the same kind of spray touch up paint. That Ebay listing shows pre charged cans that are filled with paint. You may want to ask the seller what kind of paint hes putting in those cans.

*edit just realized this post is about a year old now >_> lol
