Touch Up Paint Question

I am about to order some touch up paint for my bumper from paint scratch.com My question is has anyone used the spray can tri coat paint and spray can clear coat before. I want to know is there a problem with the paint dripping or running. Is the quality of the paint good.

I use this paint and love it. You want to make sure you don't try to apply heavy coats all at once. Just continue to spray and let dry between coats (supposedly 15 minutes).

The weather must be dry and warm (around 50 to 75 degrees, no humidity and no wind). Humidity will cause bubbling and the orange peel look.

I'm about to spray my whole trunk when they send me my next order.

My trunk is scratched to hell. The rest of the car is cool so it's about time to repaint it.

Fosgate: On can is supposed to spray 6 square feet. I think 1 can will do one door nicely with a few coats.

I know what you mean and that's why I haven't been to Houston in about 8 years. Try to do it soon.
