I went that route for a few touch up things in my ride. One can will cover 6 square feet from what they told me. So if your just doing a lip, 1 can should be good enough. That's for the color and clear coat. Do three light coats each and it should look good.

Honestly,I wouldn't go with either.But If I had no choice I'd go with paint scratch.I dont like messing with touch up paint because you cant just pick the paint shades(tint) to match the color of your car.I'd think maybe with a black you kind of could get away with it.But I mean if you're going to do just a lip,skirts I think you should be fine.I'd choose Paint Scratch,and 1 can you should be fine be sure to hit the lip with a scoth brite pad. Good luck

Ive in the past use ppg mixed spray cans, and they work well for lips and bumpers.

its 95% there for matching - but as blue em said, if you want to do it properly, just get it sprayed @ a body shop!
