Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1973 Ford Explorer is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

Richard D, owner of a 1973 Ford from Westport, CT

Actually I wasn't touching up. I wanted to see the factory color that I was thinking of changing the car to. After painting a replacement tailgate with AUTOMOTIVETOUCHUP I am looking at it for a while. The car is not going to be painted until spring, so there is time to think about it. It's great being able to buy factory colors for a test.

Gregg B, owner of a 1973 Ford from Mentor, OH

Automotive Touchup paint was just what I was looking for. I had a few minor dings that bothered me but couldn't afford a body shop to fix them. I am happy with the results. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!!
