madAUTO GLOSS WHITE TOUCH UP PEN REPAIR KIT PAINT WITH BRUSH CHIP SCRATCH WHITE (PAINT + LACQUER)

Product Information

Achieving a touch-up that is invisible under all or most lighting and viewing conditions requires application of the same sample of paint that was originally applied to the surface.

Leave the paint to dry for 15 minutes before applying any further coats from the car touch up pen, if no further coat is required, then leave to cure for 1 hour before applying the PaintNuts Clear Lacquer. Colour difference: A colour variation between the original coat and the touch-up may present a problem, especially with deeper colours which tend to highlight any gloss or texture variations. The touch up paint is the ideal way to repair small unsightly scratches and stone chips on your car's bodywork, blending them in with an exact colour match. After following all instructions (including prep, paint, and varnish), the paint dried with a very dull, almost ‘weathered’ yellow color instead of white.”

Small blemishes that may still be present will be highlighted or slight variations across the surface will be accentuated by the shadows that are cast when natural or artificial light hitting the painted surface is viewed at low or acute angles (glancing light). Why?

Touch-up paint pens don’t last quite as long as your car’s factory paint job. However, the best car paint pens should last around five years. How do I get rid of deep scratches on my car?Our favorite feature of the Dr. ColorChip paint kit is the blending solution, which helped even out the paint and was simple to use. What Customers Are Saying Quality or invisibility of touch-up are not a matter of paint performance, but are one of skill and technique. If the same sample of paint is used, applied with the same equipment, loading, technique, pressure, direction of lay-off and preferably by the same painter, an invisible touch-up can be expected. However, it cannot be guaranteed. While most commenters say the paint matches almost perfectly, the Dupli-Color brand may not get all colors right. Some reviewers had trouble with white colors (though they almost perfectly matched our test car’s pearl white paint). Availability Note: Paint pens for Baby Blue, Marine Blue, Denim Blue, Safari Uni, Safari Beige, and Reed Beige are currently unavailable

It worked great for me. Any pearlized paint is hard to duplicate. … The secret to matching your pearl white paint for this particular pen is the second step top coat; it contains the pearl part of the paint. For me, it took three coats of the (topcoat) pearl over top of the base white allowing each coat to dry at least 30 minutes between coats.” Whilst the property owner and/or the builder will place considerable importance on achieving a blemish free surface, it is not always possible to achieve an invisible touch-up. The appearance of the existing painted surface has now been compromised and this can be difficult to manage if the painter experiences any issues in readily achieving invisible touch-ups. The paint applies relatively smoothly and more easily than other paint pens that match our color better. Had the color of the TouchUpDirect paint system matched, we would have put this product higher on our list. Again, results may vary by color, and you should test any car paint pen on a small area before applying it broadly across your vehicle. What Customers Are SayingThe Halfords Ford 'Frozen White' scratch & chip repair kit is compatible with Ford manufacturer's code: 5, F, H, W & 7VTA. It sorta worked. At least it covered up some of the scratch. As soon as you tried to clean off the excess paint, it would all come off again. Took at least eight tries before I just gave up.” The color matched like advertised. [The] only problem is that I live in Florida, and the humidity made it so the paint couldn’t dry properly.” If new paint goes outside of the damaged area and on top of existing paint it will leave the area of repair looking darker or a higher level to the original bodywork. Do not use a brush to touch-up rolled areas (the brush marks will be visible and will cause a gloss difference).

Gloss difference: This is most evident when the paintwork is viewed at low or acute angles especially with head-on directional lighting. For example, looking along the wall towards the light in a long hallway. Product works very well and blends well. The only reason for 4 stars is that I had to figure out which was clear coat and which was the paint. Otherwise no complaints.In addition, the application equipment used (brush or roller sleeve) should be the same as those used for the original application, as should the equipment loading, the speed, pressure and direction of application. We found the Dr. ColorChip paint repair system to be the easiest to use of all the car paint pens we tested. However, our vehicle has a three-stage paint job, and the Dr. ColorChip system is a one-stage system that does not perfectly replicate the color on our Ford Fusion Hybrid. Nevertheless, the Dr. ColorChip kit came close to being a perfect match and even outperformed some of the three-stage paint pens we tested. Each year, we test over 350 auto products on vehicles and in our testing lab. Our team of product testers thoroughly researches top products, unboxes and puts our hands on each component, and tests the items on real vehicles before making recommendations to readers. Alternatively, combined application methods may be used, such as brushing to apply paint to the affected area followed by laying-off with a dampened but unloaded roller to provide a match to the texture of the surrounding area.
