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:

Jessie F, owner of a 1982 Ford from Houston, TX

Because of age of vehicle original paint was a little faded and not clear coated it did not make a good match after spraying. However, the test paper you provided appeared to match pretty good .. Would I buy addition paint? yes

Thomas C, owner of a 1981 Ford from Denton, TX

Good product results, including exact match of color. Customer service reps are helpful and find an answer even if they might not know at first.
