Yes they do. It doesn't take long using any spray can for a stiff/sore/tired finger to attract your attention.

Wow~
Women with paint scare me. You never know what's going to change color.

It's kinda funny, I painted my '85 4runner also, and I had an almost identical set of dents by the back taillight. I have an air compressor tho and so bought the $39 spray gun and some paint. Preped the truck and violated every rule that I didn't read in the book.

Like you Uma? I foundit's easy to get good coverage. Unlike some cell phone service.
