    Some main dealers do touch up kits as well usually better quality paint than halfords I've used their white on toyotas and it goes creamy colored after a bit

    Off the top of my head Toyota and Ford do Hyundai and Nissan don't and its cellulose paint too which is far easier than water based stuff. Other wise I use http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/ their really good

    What are you hoping to achieve with a spray can? Are you planning on spraying a while panel or what? Spraying the middle of a panel for example would turn put a disaster!

    Don't go near your car with a spray can to touch up stone chips unless you have a banger. Either get a touch up kit for small stone chips or bring it to a professsional. Nothing looks worse than a badly repaired DIY paint job.
