    Probs not, thers a few threads that you could find that would advise against it cos u may not get a perfect colour match or the same finish.. But I could be wrong?

    Bumper would probaly not worth doing with spray cans......The trolley strip I did on a VS we owned a while back, using plastic primer and spray can white...come up great.

    yeah depends what colour it is, my cars burgandy maroon and i just did where the trolly strips use to be and from a distance it looks good but up close not so great, might look abit better once i buff it up a bit, but yeah if your cars white go for it, my mate used paint in a can to fix up where his paint came of from where he debadged his car and you couldnt even really tell

    paint in a can= instant fail. it may look good to your female friends, but any guy who knows a teensie weensie bit about cars will be able to spot it from a mile away.

    if you want it clean, then you do it properley, which often means spending money.
