dupilicolor any good?

I was at my local Canadian Tire the other day and noticed that they sell "victory red" duplicolor... it is saposed to be the GM paint or whatever... has n e one ever used it and had it match up ? just curious... i got quite the scratch and wondered if this would be suitable to cover it with until i can afford the body shop... just to stop the rust from getting in there early... thanks!

*yes i realize the dealership and NAPA make better paint i was just cuious about this stuff because it is much cheaper :P thanks again!

Chris

It will look worse.
Go get some 3M rubbing compound and some NuFinish wax, buff the scratch in, it should bleed some paint into the scratch, then wax the whole area after. This should prevent rust untill you get to the shop

i'll post pics later this isn't an option wish it was me and a brick flower bed got in a fight... it won... i think ill try it and see how it goes with dupli unless there is something really wrong with it

so is there a noticable dif between duplicolor and say napa i know napa is like $30 a can where as duplicolor is like $7 lol
