Exclamation Touch up paint?

I have purchased the tiny bottle from an auto paint store to touch up dings on my beetle.

My question is if they make some spray paint that matches your car color that you can paint over LARGER areas to cover scratches? Can you not do that without painting the entire car? Any help?

Could you buy the color of you car(In my case black) and then buy an enamel top coat?I'm looking for a semi-easy fix without using and air compressor etc to paint it like the pros do it.

Perfect match for your paint and be sure to prepare the area
properly. 99% of any touch up job looking good is in the preparation.
Good Luck

I've been able to buy small spray cans from my local VW dealer parts department. I believe it was about $17 and comes with a can of clearcoat varnish. I've used mine for painting steering wheel spokes, the rear tow hook cover, and door grabs. While the cans are small, they are a perfect match for the car! Check out my DIY for painting stuff in my Sig.
