TouchUpDirect WA800J/98/GBN White Diamond Metallic Tricoat Touch Up

Our review of the TouchUpDirect White Diamond Metallic Tricoat Preferred Kit finds it best for DIY vehicle owners who need a reliable, ready-to-use touch up solution for deeper scratches and larger panels. The kit is designed to deliver an exact color match with a Color Match Guarantee and includes primer, Colorcoat and clear coat aerosol cans plus wax and grease remover wipes, making it a convenient all-in-one option for hoods, bumpers and trunk lids. For those who want to avoid professional repainting costs, this kit offers a strong balance of coverage and ease of use.

Key Features

• Exact Color Match Guarantee: The kit promises a precise match to the vehicle color to minimize visible repairs when applied correctly.
• Complete Aerosol Kit: Includes automotive primer, Colorcoat and clear coat aerosol cans so users can handle multiple stages of paint repair with one purchase.
• Coverage Guidance: The label provides realistic coverage estimates so users can plan how many cans are needed for hoods, bumpers and mirrors.
• User-Friendly Applicators: Designed for DIYers, the kit includes applicators and a test card to practice before working on the vehicle surface.
• Low-VOC Formula: The Colorcoat and clearcoat are low-VOC and eco-friendlier than traditional aerosols for similar results.
• Made in USA: The product is produced domestically, which may be important to buyers looking for US-made automotive supplies.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for do-it-yourself car owners, hobbyists and small repair shops tackling deeper scratches or larger panel repairs without full bodyshop labor. It suits owners of cars, trucks and motorcycles who want to save money compared with professional repaints and who can follow multi-step aerosol application.

It is less suitable for someone seeking a single dab-and-go solution for tiny chips or a high-gloss mirror finish without practice; some customers noted the clear coat can be less glossy, so those wanting flawless, show-quality results may prefer a professional service.
