this is true, really depends on how fvcked up your paint is or how good it looks, a full compound with a wheel may be in order, but hey it will all look better in the long run.

try this site man Aerosol Spray Paint, Spray Cans, Lacquer Clear Coat, Lacquer Primer

Aerosol's will NEVER match, even if they are the same paint code. My brother used to work for a local paint supplier that mixed aerosols to people's paint codes. They informed every person that asked for it that it was not going to match because of the way the aerosol worked.

Once there was a guy who came in and insisted he wanted the aerosol and that it was going to match, that they didn't know what they were talking about. Well a week later he came back and you could clearly see what he sprayed with the aerosol and he was *****ing about it not matching up.

A guy I work with did the same thing. He fixed a few areas on his green Jetta. He put the spots in primer then went and got aerosol even after I had already told him it wasn't going to match. Well when he finally did it, his car looked like a green leapord. The spots were clearly noticable, even though the paint was mixed to his paint code.

so thats useless to call it factory paint haha i would be pissed
