TouchUpDirect RH Yellow Splash Metallic Tricoat Compatible Touch Up

In this review of the TouchUpDirect RH Yellow Splash Metallic Tricoat Compatible with Ford Essential Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is best for DIY owners who need a convenient, ready-to-use solution for small to medium paint chips and scratches. The review finds the product delivers an excellent factory color match most of the time and includes user-friendly applicators that make a quick repair possible without a body shop visit. It is a practical, made-in-USA option for those who value an exact color match and a repair kit that includes both colorcoat and clearcoat for a finished look.

Key Features

• Made in USA: The paint and kit are produced in the United States, which gives buyers confidence in consistent manufacturing and quality control.
• Color Match Guarantee: The kit is backed by a color match promise, helping to achieve an accurate repair that blends with the vehicle's original finish.
• All-in-one kit: Includes a Colorcoat touch up brush and a Clearcoat touch up brush so you can complete prep, color, and protect steps without sourcing extra tools.
• Low-VOC formula: The Colorcoat and Clearcoat are formulated to be eco-friendlier and easier to apply with reduced strong solvent odor.
• Covers up to 10 sq in: The supplied quantity is designed to restore multiple chips and small damaged areas, making it useful for regular maintenance.
• User-friendly applicators: The included brushes are sized for controlled application, which helps DIYers avoid excess paint and runs.

Who It's For

This kit suits owners of Ford vehicles (or anyone using Ford-compatible RH Yellow Splash Metallic Tricoat paint codes) who have small to medium chips and scratches and prefer a do-it-yourself fix over a professional paint booth. It is especially useful for people who want a close color match without learning complex bodywork techniques.

It is less appropriate for someone seeking a full panel respray, or for those who demand a flawless show-car finish; large-scale repairs and perfect high-gloss results may still require professional sanding, blending, and polishing or a shop with spray equipment.

Our Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this match my Ford's original paint?
The kit is sold as compatible with the RH Yellow Splash Metallic Tricoat code and carries a Color Match Guarantee, so it should match when the correct code is used and application follows the included guidance.

How much area does the kit cover?
The kit is sized to cover up to roughly 10 sq in, which is sufficient for numerous small chips and scattered scratches.

Is the clear coat glossy enough to match factory shine?
Most users get an acceptable finish, but some report the clear coat can appear slightly dull compared with factory clearcoat, so extra polishing after curing may improve gloss.
