AEROSOL Touch UP

I ordered this because I'm restoring our 20+ year old Mountain Bikes. This arrived on time and as described. That said, this is the second order I place. The first order one of the cans had a defective tip and it leaked like crazy. It ruined what was supposed to be the second coat especially with the drips. I had to sand down the frame to correct and remove the build up from the leak. I contacted Dupli-Color directly through their site and never heard back from. I was pot committed on the color since it was the closest match to our bikes original color so I ordered another set. Once again I encountered problems. The spray is inconsistent and blotchy which is no big deal on a single color, but when its a metallic paint you notice it immediately. Because I had to sand down the frame due to the previous can leaking. I used the first can to provide full coverage so I wasnt too worried about the blotches. Unfortunately, the second can was worse. Spray pattern is inconsistent, the tip clogs immediately and god forbid you tilt the can a bit and it starts to sputter. This experience has been the worst with a spray can. When you consider two orders rounding up cost to $60 and you end up with uneven paint its unacceptable. It would have been better to spend the money on a quart of paint and use my HVLP, lesson learned. Consequently, I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

GIVING NEW LOOK

yes the paint tip clogged up. i wound up using an old oblong tip from another can and that worked very well. the paint then blended into the surrounding paint area.
