Who It's For

The TouchUpDirect aerosol preferred kit is aimed at car, truck and motorcycle owners who want to repair visible, deeper scratches or restore larger panel areas without a professional body shop. It fits DIY enthusiasts who appreciate a multi-can aerosol approach and guidance about how many cans are needed for hoods, bumpers and mirrors.

This kit is not the best choice for someone who only needs a tiny brush dab for a pinpoint chip or who prefers brush-on bottles for extremely small touch ups. Also, buyers who require factory-level refinishing for structural repairs should consult a professional rather than relying on a DIY aerosol kit.
