Chris,
In Canada, VW no longer carries touch-up paint in tubes with built in brush. They
only carry the spray cans.

I spray some into the lid and use a small paint brush to apply thin layers. The
paint is much thinner than the touch-up tube and requires 3-4 layers before the
color and texture look right. It is much more work than the touch-up tube method,
but I like the results better and the 3-4 layers is probably a better seal.
