Sveedy, what brand is that? Looks familiar. And is lacquer the right material to use over enamel base coat? I don't know that much about paint materials.

Its just called Automotive Touchup. They match what ever color you need. I originally bought it to paint a bumper repair that the original owner left me with. I seem to remember getting what ever was recommended - sealer, primer, paint, and clear coat.
It has all held up fine. But I'm not sure about trying to paint a large area like a roof with a rattle can. I guess with the right nozzle and some buffing it would work fine.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.
