TouchUpDirect A89 Imperial Blue Pearl Compatible With BMW - Platinum

In this review the TouchUpDirect A89 Imperial Blue Pearl Compatible With BMW Platinum Kit is assessed for DIY car owners who need an exact paint match and a complete aerosol repair solution. The biggest reason to consider it is the all-in-one aerosol kit that includes primer, Colorcoat and Clearcoat plus prep and finishing supplies, which makes it practical for small to medium repairs and repainting panels without a paint shop. The kit is aimed at owners who want a durable, UV-resistant finish and a close color match backed by a Color Match Guarantee.

Key Features

• Exact color match: The A89 Imperial Blue Pearl formula is produced to closely match BMW factory color so visible repairs blend with surrounding panels.
• Complete aerosol kit: The Platinum Kit includes primer, Colorcoat and Clearcoat aerosol cans plus sanding, masking and polishing supplies so a single purchase covers prep through finish.
• DIY-friendly applicators: User-focused aerosol delivery and included consumables simplify correcting scratches and paint imperfections for non-professionals.
• UV protection and durability: The Colorcoat and Clearcoat are formulated to enhance shine and resist harmful UV rays for longer-lasting results.
• Low-VOC formulation: The kit uses environmentally friendlier Colorcoat and Clearcoat materials to reduce volatile emissions during application.
• Coverage guidance: Cans are sized to offer 3-4 cans for hoods or trunk lids, 2-3 for bumpers and about 1 can for mirrors, helping plan quantity for panel repairs.

Who It's For

The kit is best for BMW owners or anyone with A89 Imperial Blue Pearl who prefers a hands-on approach and wants a near-factory finish without paying a body shop. Enthusiast DIYers who can follow prep steps and use aerosol spray techniques will get the most consistent results.

This is not ideal for complete full-vehicle repainting or for users who expect flawless professional spraying without practice; customers seeking flawless, multi-stage color correction or ceramic-level coatings should consider professional services instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comprehensive kit contents mean no additional trips for basic supplies and reduces guesswork when planning a repair.
• Color Match Guarantee gives confidence that the A89 Imperial Blue Pearl will blend with existing BMW finishes in many cases.
• Low-VOC Colorcoat and Clearcoat provide a durable, shiny finish with added UV protection.
• Good value for small to medium panel repairs compared with multiple separate purchases or a body shop touch up.

Cons

• Some users report inconsistent paint consistency or clumping during application, so careful technique and test spraying on the included test card are needed.
• Aerosol application requires practice to achieve perfectly smooth transitions, making it less suited to users unwilling to do prep work.
