Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:
Priscilla S, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Lookout Mountain, GA
The paint was a great match and it arrived within 10 of when I placed the order. It was super easy to use! The price was good and it matches my car well.
Duncan B, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Carrollton, VA
Picked up the product to color match some factory option parts to my car. Hard color to match given the metallic and specific shade of red that Subaru chose.
Glad to say this product was perfect, new parts are matched in perfectly and other than being far to clean you can't tell they haven't been on the car 8 years already. Used the aerosol product, when I repaint my project car I will be back for more in larger quantities from these guys.

Perfect match received paint in a timely fashion I will most definitely use you again and refer you to my friends 👍
Marc M, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Silver Spring, MD
I used three pens: gray primer, color match for my car, and clearcoat. The color match was a very good match; looked great. The pens all worked pretty well - press down and paint would flow out. My final result doesn't look professional at all, but it prevented rust and from ten feet away looks great. I think it was a good value purchase.
Ecstatic Customer, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester
They were fast (but they were local for me) and the color matched. I will be a return customer when I'm ready to touchup my other car.
Alfred D, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Richfield Springs, NY
Paint worked great. Color right on. Fixed the scratch on first coat. Great product.
Janet T, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Reno, NV
My husband had an altercation with a wayward shopping cart. It made a large scratch which consisted of several marks. I used your paint and loved it. It matched perfectly.
I used it without my husband knowing about it. He didn't even know there was a scratch on the fender!
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Stan L, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from WA
Took a while to get here (17 days), but well worth the wait. Excellent products, both the paint & clear coat. The paint was freshly mixed, and obviously fresher than what you could get at a automotive retail store. At a better price as well. Thank you Automotive Touch Up!
Cathy R, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Peyton, CO
Color match was good but the applicator brush made it difficult to apply the paint evenly.
Don C, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Peabody, MA
What can I say, perfect, match that's why I purchased from you guys again. Thanks for a great product.
Jerry E, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from PA
The paint matched my vehicle exactly. Great product, good communication, and fast service. Saved beaucoup $$ rather than having a body shop do the painting. Would definitely buy from AutomotiveTouchup again.
David C, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from GA
A perfect match to cover some scratches made while loading my kayak. Thanks.
Bud Keene, owner of a 2011 Subaru Forester from Union Hall, VA
I painted a panel of my 2011 Subaru which was a Green Gray Metallic/Sage Green Metallic C1F. The results perfectly matched the rest of the car. First I painted a piece of scrap metal, compared it to my car and it looked totally different. Then my wife commented that the perceived color depends on the orientation of the piece. The color goes from green to gray depending on the lighting and the the slant of the section. Sure enough when I positioned the test piece in exactly the same direction as a straight car section (a vertical area on the back of the car) it was an exact match.
The car panel had several scratches down to the original primer with rough edges of color around the scratches. Here's how i did it.
1. I smoothed out the scratches down to the primer with 320 wet/dry sandpaper, and then lightly scuffed the rest of the panel to remove gloss. If I were to do it again, I would use a slightly finer paper to scuff the undamaged area.
2. I masked the adjacent panels and the windshield using quality masking tape and plastic sheeting. the sheeting covered wide areas to be sure that my spraying would not hit any of the other areas.
3. I applied 3 light coats of the color waiting 30 minutes between the coats. Be careful not to overspray which could cause sags, and don't touch a prominent areas to check if it's dry. If not dry it will leave a mark.
4. After one hour I lightly sanded the final color coat with 2000 wet/dry paper which I found at my auto store.
5. I then applied 3 coats of the clear coat, again waiting 30 minutes between coats.
The refinished area totally matched color of the adjoining panels.
The job was done in one afternoon, and most of the time was spent watching TV between coats.
3. I sprayed the damaged panel with the color coat, applying 3 coats....waiting 30 minutes between coats. I used very light coats to be sure that it would not sag.
NOTE: After spraying a coat, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle until just propellent comes out. Otherwise the nozzle may clog with dried paint.
My only suggestion is that you provide similar application directions with the paint.
