I'm with the Kilz in a spray can theory. The trick is not to get too much on it as Kilz will leave a shiny spot if put on too thick. Get about two or three feet away from the area when you spray and just kind of fog it on.

What color matching gun are you talking about? I've been matching colors for 39 years, 28 for the same manufacturer. Rookies and wannabes match a color by putting it on a computer, whatever it comes up with is what you get. When I'm in practice I can look at a color and get pretty darn close on the first shot. Knowledge and experience is what makes it a touch up quality match a few hits later.

A paint store that caters to professional painters should be able to do a touch up quality match. The bigger the sample the better and gallons are far easier to do matches with than quarts. By the way I have touch ups in my house that I did ten tears ago and you still can't find them, touching up is an art too.
