Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:
Tom P, owner of a 1989 Chevrolet Silverado from Casper, WY
1st I am far from a professional painter.
The tailgate on my 35 year old truck was not in good shape, due to a poorly done repair pre 1992 by original owner.
I figured anything I could do would be better.
I used all spray can products from Automotive touch up, primer, matched paint, and clear coat.
Originally using the tools from my garage, I started with wood sander, quickly purchasing a low budget grinder to take it down to metal. I then built a low budget paint booth in my garage with plastic sheets.
The tail gate was primed followed by a light hand sanding. I then painted it with 7 layers of paint followed by 5 coats of clear coat. It was looking good.
Now don’t do this. After a day 1/2 of drying time on the last clear coat, I flipped it over on my saw horses with pad to protect the new paint job on the other side! Proceeded to sand prime and paint the other side with less effort because it the work side of the tail gate It looked good.
But when I went back to the front. The padding left marks in the clear coat.
I tried hand sanding only the area’s affected but failed. I purchased an orbital sander polisher. Went down to (6000 or 4000 don’t recall) grit and it was glass smooth before I redid the clear coat.

ILLINI FAN, owner of a 1991 Chevrolet Lumina Sedan from East Moline, IL
I have a 1991 Chevy Lumina Euro that I bought new. It has been a great car and I take great care of it mechanically and finish, but living in the Midwest, the winters take their toll on car bodies. I have to do annual body work to the car, when it’s time to paint, I use Automotive Touchup Aerosol primer, Chevy 70 ( Torch Red ) base coat, and clear coat. It is amazing the spray pattern and coverage you get from Automotive Touchup aerosol paint. The match is perfect to the eye after I buff the new paint in to the old with a fine cut glaze. I also like Automotive Touchup ordering, it is fast, easy and secure online. My wife drives the Lumina the majority of the time and says she gets many comments on the car. Thanks to Automotive Touchup and some glass body repair, no one knows that it isn’t all metal.
