Subject:Re: Touch up paint in spray cans?

Thanks, I was going to check out some local mixers and see if any of
them would put some into a spray can.

I would imagine that the propellant takes up some of the room in the
can and that a quart of actual pigment (paint) would fill up more than
3 cans.

I also base that on how  paintscratch.com prices their stuff:

12.5 oz. Basecoat Spray Can -- 24.95
16 oz. Basecoat Paint (One Pint) -- 90.70
32 oz. Basecoat Paint (One Quart)-- 132.00

You have to pay something for the added step (putting paint into an
aerosol can rather than a regular paint can), so I wouldn't be
surprised if the paintscratch.com 12.5 oz spray can only has about 4
oz of paint....
