8X2 Blue Eclipse Metallic Touch Up Paint Kit - Platinum Aerosol

In this review of the 8X2 Blue Eclipse Metallic Platinum Aerosol kit, the bottom line is simple: it is a full DIY touch up system aimed at Toyota owners and other drivers who need a one-stop, professional-feeling repair without a bodyshop. The kit's biggest draw is that it ships with primer, Colorcoat and Clearcoat plus prep and finishing supplies, so a competent DIYer can address chips, small scratches and scuffs at home and achieve a durable, glossy finish when the color match is correct.

Key Features

• All-in-one aerosol kit: Includes primer, Colorcoat and Clearcoat so users can complete multi-stage repairs without hunting for separate cans.
• Made in USA: The paint and materials are produced domestically, which reassures buyers about manufacturing consistency and supply.
• Color Match Guarantee: Backed by a promise to match your vehicle color, which simplifies ordering for Toyota exact match needs.
• DIY-friendly applicators: Designed for at-home use with included prep items like Wax & Grease Remover Wipes and tack cloth to improve adhesion and finish.
• Low-VOC Colorcoat: An eco-friendlier formula that provides professional-style results while reducing emissions during application.
• Coverage guidance: The kit estimates 3-4 cans for hoods/trunk lids, 2-3 for bumpers and 1 for mirrors, helping plan purchases for larger repairs.

Who It's For

This kit is well suited to Toyota owners and other vehicle owners who prefer DIY repairs and want a consolidated aerosol solution that includes primer, color and clearcoat. It works best for small to medium repairs such as door dings, chips, bumper scuffs and mirror touch-ups where a professional spray booth is not required.

It is less appropriate for someone who expects a guaranteed perfect match without any trial or for large, multi-panel restorations where professional repainting and blending are necessary; also, users uncomfortable with multi-step paint prep and finishing may prefer leaving the job to a shop.

Pros & Cons
