CLEAR COAT IS REQUIRED WITH THIS PAINT

To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1988 Chevrolet Express, we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The color code will be located on a sticker named Parts Identification. The code can start with BC/CC followed by a U, or a WA with a four digit number/letter combination. We use the WA format for simplicity, your code may have a U. WA8555 is the same as U8555.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1988 Chevrolet Express 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:

William H, owner of a 1988 Chevrolet from Hartsville, SC

I used the spray paint to paint the lower portion of my truck. I had the truck painted several years ago but to paint the original two colors was going to be too costly. I decided to try out the product you offered for painting the lower portion myself. It came out looking good for someone like me with no experience painting a car/truck. Total cost was about $200. I'm very pleased with this product. Paint looks like it matched some of the old paint perfectly.

Scott S, owner of a 1988 Chevrolet from Tucson, AZ

Since this is my first attempt at touching up an entire vehicle, there's definitely a learning curve to doing the job properly (1st is a NIOSH rated mask and goggles for safety). And there are many ways to do this job, my 88 Chevy P/U was a good pick for repaint with lots of scratches, divots, etc. I chose to spot paint small isolated divots, area paint other strips like the front of the hood with hundreds of divots and inside the P/U load box. The trick is getting the exact color which I received from AutomotiveTouchup and EXTREME care in clear coating for an even coat and shine without drips or striations. Still in the process of clear coating the hood, wet sanding (1200-1500 grit for blending with original paint) and buffing with red, white polishing compounds and regular polish with a final wax coat. I am an amateur, so expecting perfection is out of the question, but with patience (for me, about 3 weeks 3-4 hrs per 5 day work week) and the right compounds I'll get as close to factory paint as is possible thanks to AutomotiveTouchup. With a shiny 26 yr old truck that looks like new, learning curve is complete. Pics to come later.
