That hasn't worked in decades.

The stuff you buy in spray cans (except the special stuff where you "set it off" and have to use the whole can in a day or two) is just lacquer, it dries fast and it is easy to buff and will look OK.

Even if you spray clear on it, you'll still see the edge in the color under the clear and you will also see the clear overspray end.

You can get a decent-ish repair out of it but if you can't see it then you're probably the kind of guy who "doesn't notice" a big blobby touch-up right by the gas cap before he buys a car anyway.

please try it on your cracked fender paint at the front bumper and report back

I actually did use black lacquer there (not even pearl) and because it is mainly in the seam, it's not totally apparent... It's such a small area, a spray can would just make a mess of it.

Also today is really ******* sarcastic day. Everything I say should be taken as if I said it really sarcastically.

hard to tell which is better. my personal droid is verizon and my company moto-g is at&t.

both work about the same for me, coverage wise included.
i still have unlimited data on verizon so i dont plan on switching to another
carrier any time soon.
