Aerosol can touch up paint
Are there any local paint shops that can match paint and supply it in an aerosol can? By local I mean South Africa or even better, Cape Town.

Re: Aerosol can touch up paint
it might be economic spares, but I'm not sure anymore.
Phone them and find out

Re: Aerosol can touch up paint
If all else fails I have seena youtube video of someone making his own aerosol can using pvc piping... Google it. You can clean and reuse it, but of course you would require a compressor or take a drive to the filling station.
Found the video.

Re: Aerosol can touch up paint
Plascon has a 2k system in a can. I haven’t used it myself, but this seems like a very good option

Re: Aerosol can touch up paint
Assuming it’s for a vehicle then the easiest is a petrol flap.
PostNet does delivery to door…might be area specific though. I use Collivery couriers every now and then if I need something collected at a specific address….everything is online and you can see what it cost beforehand…they have a nation wide footprint. https://collivery.net/quick-price
It will be really interesting to know what your impressions are if you do go the Plascon route.
