Does anyone know if you can buy alpine white 2 brush on paint, (not touch up).i need enough to paint for front and rear valance.i know everyone is going to say why don't you get it spayed on, well I need a quick fix and I use the car daily and anything will look better than how it looks at the moment,and as it's got the original stone chip finish I could get away with brush on paint.

just get a couple of matched rattle cans (halfords?) & use them.

quicker, easier & less mess.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
