I would probably be using a leftover can anyway.
I think it's unlikely you'd bump the limit with a rattlecan.
Thrifty me definitely understands that a $1.00 build confers a certain aura of efficiency, which I would not dare to dispute. Just tell us that the bicycle was vandalized, and the paint will add zero.
