TouchUpDirect NH-797M Modern Steel Metallic Compatible Touch Up Paint

In this review of the TouchUpDirect NH-797M Modern Steel Metallic Combo, the bottom line is simple: this kit is aimed at DIY drivers who want a reliable, near-perfect color match without a body shop visit. The reviewer found it best suited to small to medium paint repairs and liked that the kit is complete - primer, colorcoat, clearcoat, applicator and finishing supplies - so there is no hunting for extras. The Color Match Guarantee and low-VOC formulation are useful for owners who want a durable finish that resists UV fading and looks professionally done when applied carefully.

Key Features

• Complete kit: The Combo Platinum includes primer, colorcoat and clearcoat plus applicators and finishing supplies so users have everything needed for a single repair session.
• Color Match Guarantee: The paint is custom made to match Honda Modern Steel Metallic NH-797M, giving confidence that the repaired area will blend with surrounding panels.
• DIY friendly applicators: The included combo applicator and accessories make controlled application easier for non-professionals attempting minor scratch and chip repairs.
• Low-VOC formula: The environmentally friendlier paint and clearcoat reduce harsh fumes while still delivering a durable, UV-resistant finish.
• Made in SoCal: The product is manufactured in Southern California, which the brand cites as part of consistent quality control and paint mixing standards.

Who It's For

This kit is for car owners who prefer to do small to medium touch-ups themselves and want a hassle-free solution that includes all supplies. It suits people with minor chips, edge scratches and small blemishes who appreciate a matched colorcoat and a complete workflow from primer to polish.

It is less appropriate for large panel replacement or collision repair that requires spray-bay blending or for buyers who expect instant perfection without practice; users should test the color on a card and practice with the applicator before working on visible panels.
