Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:
Elijah L, owner of a 2003 Toyota Echo from Chandler, AZ
So far the product has prove true to color. The nozzle tip seems a little stiff, but spray pattern fans out properly. We are trying to cover a new bumper and assumed that (1) can would cover the whole thing, but we missed it by 20%. We will need to buy another can to finish job. Overall we are pleased with results.

PRO: Just learning the technique using the spray can products. Started with my front bumper. Looking good now after a heavier gloss coat on 2nd day. I have learned that I initially probably applied the coats actually too little. Sprayed on the top today between the windshield and sun roof. Color coat went on nicely; needs a 3rd gloss coat. I have the rest of the top, hood, rear bumper and some side areas to complete. I have lots of experience with my HVLP sprayer, so I may buy more base coat and gloss in the can size.
CON: The paint color is very close to the original, but I would have to say your base coat is slightly darker than the original paint. Could this be due to the fact that the car is 2002 and it could have faded in some sense (even though it doesn't look that way)? The exact color match is not a critical issue as I just want to get it looking decent w/o discolored/sun-bleached areas.

Excellent paint match, good product.
I am a novice car painter but very experienced in home painting jobs. Three spray technique things I have learned about using the paint: (1) the 12 oz. spray cans are better suited for small area jobs. I used them to paint the entire front hood, and it was difficult to get a perfectly even application. Next time I would buy a pint can and use my HVLP spray unit, (2) when using the 12 oz. cans, be sure to mix (shake) them for at least 5 minutes b/c the heavier "metallic finish" particles gravitate to the bottom of the can and can come out at the end and mess up the coloration, and (3) if you have an older car (mine is a 2002 Avalon), the original paint has faded compared to the new paint you'll spray on. So, don't expect a perfect match for these older type cars. Not the fault of the this paint; that' just the way it is.
