Will this work for my damage?

  • Small Chips, Tiny Nicks, or Hairline Scratches

    If you have rock chips on the hood, tiny nicks on door edges, or areas where paint has chipped away, these are the most common paint problems - and the easiest to fix!

    Solution: Paint Pen Kit

  • A Scratch You Can Feel With Your Fingernail

    If your fingernail catches in the scratch, the damage is deeper than the clear coat and likely needs a little more paint to fill it properly. You'll probably need primer as well.

    Solution: Paint Bottle Kit

  • Larger Scrapes, Abrasions, or Scuffed Areas

    If a larger section of the panel has visible scuffing or multiple scratches, brushing on paint will show the brush stroke texture. Spray paint blends new paint smoothly across a larger area.

    Solution: Spray Can Kit

  • A Panel That Requires a Full Repair

    If paint damage has been left untreated for a while, a small fix won't do the job. Larger areas or more visible panels may also benefit from a more complete repair process.

    Solution: PRO Size Paint

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle's paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver's door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. Visit Find Your Paint Code for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes, as long as you order the color that matches your vehicle's paint code. Every order is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee.

Should I buy a kit, or just the paint?

Kits are a safe choice: they give you everything you need for a basic touch-up, so you don't have to worry about which products to buy.

However, if you already have primer, clearcoat, and cutting creme at home, you probably only need the standalone paint color.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss. We offer convenient Kits in your color that have everything you need for a basic touch-up.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3-5 business days. Delivery takes 2-14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (1/2 oz) - Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) - Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can - Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) - Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it's just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

When is touch-up paint not enough?

Some damage cannot be fixed with touch-up paint products alone. For these situations, we recommend visiting a professional body shop.

  • Large dents
  • Rust holes that go all the way through a panel
  • Rips through the metal
  • Major collision damage

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there's a color match issue, we'll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
