Old school home painter here--synthol enamel, acrylic enamel & lacquer. Now I've got a car that was painted in 2008 in BC/CC. It got scratched down to the primer about the size of a half dollar under the front lip of the hood. (65 GTO) Not noticeable when the hood is closed. I don't want to touch this up with a brush because it is so big.

I've got some lacquer that I had mixed for another part of the car. If I spray this area with the lacquer and try to blend back over the clear on the sides will it cause lifting or crazing problems? I just want to spray a few light coats and then rub it out. I know it will never be a perfect match, but it should look better than trying to touch it up with a brush, and a lot cheaper than buying all the products in BC/CC just for this one little job. What do you experts say?
