TouchUpDirect 799/9799 Diamond White Tricoat Touch Up Paint

In this review the TouchUpDirect 799/9799 Diamond White Tricoat Preferred Kit is evaluated for DIY drivers and small repair jobs; it is best for owners who need an exact color match and a brush applicator suited to deeper chips. The kit's single biggest selling point is a complete, ready-to-use system that includes primer, colorcoat and clearcoat brushes plus prep wipes, which lets a competent DIYer restore visible chips without a trip to a body shop. The review focuses on match accuracy, ease of use, and practical coverage for common road damage.

Key Features

• Exact Match Guarantee: The kit is supplied to match Mercedes-Benz Diamond White Tricoat and is backed by a color match promise to reduce visible differences after repair.
• Three-Stage System: Included Automotive Primer, Colorcoat and Clearcoat give a layered finish that helps rebuild depth and protect the repair area.
• Brush Preferred Applicators: Brush tips are provided for primer, color and clearcoat to reach deeper scratches and chips with controlled application.
• Made in USA: The paint and clearcoat are manufactured domestically, which may matter to buyers seeking locally produced automotive supplies.
• Low-VOC Formula: The Colorcoat and Clearcoat use a lower VOC, eco-friendlier formulation while still aiming for a durable finish.
• Prep Supplies Included: Wax & Grease Remover Wipes and a test card help prepare the surface and verify color before committing to the repair.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for Mercedes-Benz owners and DIYers who need a convenient way to repair chips and deeper scratches without professional help; it is especially useful when color accuracy and a layered finish matter. The brush applicators make it practical for working inside recessed chips and for users comfortable with careful, patient application.

This is less suitable for someone who expects factory-level flawless results on large panels or who prefers spray applications for blending across wide areas. Also, drivers who want immediate professional finish or who are uncomfortable with multi-step prep and application should consider a body shop instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Accurate color matching is reported by many users, helping the repair blend into surrounding paint.
• The three-part primer, colorcoat and clearcoat system provides a more complete repair than single-step pens or bottles.
• Brush applicators and included prep wipes make it straightforward to tackle deeper chips with control.

Cons

• Coverage and surface smoothness received mixed feedback; some users report a slightly rough finish that may require additional sanding and polishing.
