TouchUpDirect RR Ruby Red Metallic Tricoat Compatible Touch Up Paint

In this review the TouchUpDirect RR Ruby Red Metallic Tricoat Compatible Touch Up Paint - Platinum Kit is evaluated for DIY drivers who need a practical, complete kit to repair scratches and chips. The bottom line: it is best for owners of Ruby Red Metallic Tricoat Ford vehicles who want a straightforward, small-scale repair solution with a reliable color match and UV protection. The kit's Colorcoat plus Clearcoat combo and user-friendly applicators make it a solid choice for those willing to spend a little time prepping and practicing before finishing.

Key Features

• Exact match formulation: The paint is made to match Ford Ruby Red Metallic Tricoat so users can restore visible chips without noticeable color differences when applied properly.
• Complete three-step kit: Primer, Colorcoat and Clearcoat are included so the repair can be done from start to finish with compatible materials for a durable finish.
• User-friendly applicators: Design-focused brushes and applicators reduce mess and make layering paint and clearcoat easier for DIYers who are not professional painters.
• Protective UV resistance: The automotive-grade formula helps shield repaired areas from sun damage, helping the repair last longer outdoors.
• Enough coverage for small repairs: The kit supplies enough paint to cover at least 10 square inches, suited to chips and small scratches on cars and motorcycles.
• Low-VOC and accessories included: Low-VOC paint plus wax and grease remover, assorted sandpaper and polishing compound are provided for prep and finishing.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at vehicle owners who want to handle small paint repairs themselves rather than pay for a body shop. It suits Ford owners with the RR Ruby Red Metallic Tricoat color who need chip or scratch touch-ups and value an included primer and clearcoat so the repair matches and is protected.

It is less suitable for very large damaged panels or owners seeking a flawless, showroom-grade respray; those projects still require professional equipment and paint-matching services. Also, buyers who expect an instant perfect gloss straight from the kit should allow time to practice and follow the recommended clearcoat step carefully.
