TouchUpDirect GLU/WA328E Midnight Blue Metallic Touch Up Paint

In this review the TouchUpDirect GLU/WA328E Midnight Blue Metallic Platinum Kit is evaluated as a DIY solution for small paint repairs on GMC vehicles and similar dark metallic finishes. The bottom line: this kit is designed for owner-operators who want a close color match and a complete, single-purchase repair system; its biggest selling point is the included primer, colorcoat and clearcoat combo with accessories that let a careful novice produce a durable, UV-resistant result. The review focuses on real use, ease of application and whether the promised color match holds up in ordinary daylight.

Key Features

• Exact Match Formula: The colorcoat is blended to match Midnight Blue Metallic so touch ups blend into surrounding panels when applied correctly.
• Platinum Kit Completeness: The kit includes primer, colorcoat, clearcoat, assorted sandpaper, polishing compound and prep wipes so no extra purchases are required for a typical small repair.
• DIY Friendly Applicators: User-friendly combo applicators make it possible for one person to apply primer, color and clearcoat without specialized tools.
• UV Resistance: The low-VOC clearcoat protects repaired areas from fading and provides a more durable finish for daily driving exposure.
• Coverage: The supplied volume covers at least 10 square in, which is suitable for door dings, small chips and narrow scratches.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY car owners who have small chips or surface scratches on Midnight Blue Metallic GMC panels and who want a near-professional outcome without hiring a body shop. It fits users comfortable with light sanding, following instructions and practicing on a test card before final application.

It is not ideal for major collision repairs, large panel resprays, or users unwilling to spend time on prep work; painted body shops or professional refinishers remain the better choice for extensive damage or whole-panel color matching under variable lighting.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete kit includes primer, colorcoat and clearcoat so users receive a full repair workflow.
• Color Match Guarantee provides reassurance and the paint often blends well when applied carefully.
• Environmentally friendlier, low-VOC formulation with UV protection for longevity.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed feedback on paint quality and adhesion, so results depend on prep and technique.
