Finding lacquer in a rattle can is not that easy unless you go to an

Duplicolor ..................
The Simtec/Prestec process is also good, but I think you'll have to
buy at least a quart which (with shipping) is not cheap. It's a 2 part
epoxy.............


The Duplicolor is cheap, Low grade garbage made by Rustoleum. Much better to take an access panel in to a Auto Body supply shop and match some paint which can be put into a rattle can.
Also, Simtec is Polyester.


He was talking about a wing tip.
If it is a patch and spray job Rustoleum would do just fine. Don't worry about perfect match, just mask and spray the whole tip.
