Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1981 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:

Jeffrey M, owner of a 1980 Ford from Myrtle Beach, SC

My truck is a 1980 F100. The truck bed was replaced and it was a green color that I really liked over the original maroon. I was literally floored when I ordered the touch up paint from, Automotive Touchup, and it was an EXACT match. I will now purchase enough to paint the truck this color. Great product!

Garfield S, owner of a 1980 Ford F-Series from Panama City, FL

Have used your paints on three different cars, two. Jaguars, one Ford truck, and have always been satisfied. Great product. Thanks
