Best Touch-Up Paint Sources
- Dupli-Color: Offers a wide range of popular colors in easy-to-use applicators like pens and aerosol sprays.
- AutomotiveTouchup: Provides custom-mixed paints in various sizes, from small touch-up bottles to larger quantities for spray guns.
- Tcoat custom-mix: A great option for a precise match, especially for metallic and pearl finishes.
- GMC Dealership: Your local dealer can provide factory-original touch-up paint, ensuring a perfect match.
How To Use Touch-Up Paint
- Clean: Thoroughly clean the area with soap and water, then use a wax and grease remover.
- Primer: Apply a thin layer of automotive primer to the scratch or chip. This helps the base coat adhere properly.
- Base Coat: Apply thin, even coats of the colored base coat, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
- Clear Coat: Finish with a clear coat to protect the paint and provide a glossy finish.
Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats
Pearl and tri-coat finishes, like Red Quartz Tintcoat and White Frost Tricoat, require a multi-step process. They use a base color and a mid-coat of pearl or mica to create depth and shimmer. For a successful repair, it is crucial to apply the base and mid-coats in the correct sequence and thickness. It is highly recommended to use a test card to practice and ensure the color matches before applying to the vehicle.
