TouchUpDirect Imperial Blue Metallic Touch Up Paint Aerosol Kit - DIY

In this review the TouchUpDirect 37U/WA403P Imperial Blue Metallic Aerosol Platinum Kit is assessed as a practical DIY solution for repairing visible chips and scratches on cars, trucks and motorcycles. The bottom line: it is best for owners who want a reliable, American-made touch up system with a clear process and useful tools included; the single biggest reason to buy is the all-in-one kit that combines primer, Colorcoat and Clearcoat plus preparation and polishing supplies to produce a durable finish when steps are followed carefully.

Key Features

• Exact Match Color: The kit is backed by a Color Match Guarantee to help achieve a close match to the vehicle's Imperial Blue Metallic finish when you verify color with the test card first.
• Complete Platinum Kit: Includes automotive primer, Colorcoat, Clearcoat and all essential consumables so users do not need extra purchases to complete a repair.
• Made in USA: The paint and materials are proudly made in the United States, which may matter to buyers prioritizing domestic production.
• DIY Friendly Applicators: User-friendly applicators and instructions are provided to guide beginners through prep, application and finishing steps.
• Eco-friendly Formulation: Low-VOC Colorcoat and Clearcoat aim to reduce environmental impact while delivering professional-style results.
• Coverage Guidance: The kit lists expected coverage so users can plan: 3-4 cans for hoods or trunk lids, 2-3 for bumpers and 1 for mirrors.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at DIY vehicle owners and hobbyists who want to repair chips and light scratches without paying for a professional respray. It works well for small to medium repairs on cars, trucks and motorcycles where a close color match and a one-stop kit shorten the learning curve.

It is less suitable for users who need a mirror-perfect factory finish over large panels or those uncomfortable with sanding, masking and multi-step application; professional body shops remain the better choice for full-panel color and gloss restoration.
