NEVER BUY FROM THEM
March 15, 2023

Never buy from these guys, go with someone more reputable.
I ordered a Sapphire Blue color code and was sent Plum Crazy Purple.
Yeah that will match up well.
These guys are crooks.
Refuse to refund or send correct color.

Buy somewhere else
July 24, 2022

Paint match was about 4 shades too dark (My veh. 10 years old.) Plenty of primer and color in the pen kit; however, the Clear coat was almost empty when received. All that work to result in an inability to apply clear coat. Really piss-poor product. No point in trying to contact Cust. Support so Im just going to order a kit from someone else and start again. My mistake for not researching reviews prior to purchase.
I fell like I spent $70 at WISH! What was waste of time and money.

They took 4 days to ship and over a week to deliver, I paid 15$ extra for expedited shipping and after all that time I only got half the order. I emailed them since the number they have online tells you they are too busy and it's been 5 says since then and still no reply. All in all the product is overpriced, the shipping is terrible and the customer service is seemingly non-existent. Would rate 0 stars if I could.

I wanted to return unused product. They first ignored my request. Then they issued a return address label. After I shipped the product back they never issued a refund. Not sure if they're dishonest or incompetent, likely both. I regret ordering anything from them and wasting my money. Do NOT give them your business! The five star reviews on their site are likely fake.

Even BBB Gives them an "F"
March 24, 2023

I placed an order for a touch up kit for my truck. The shipping was free; however, I decided to do expedited shipping for $5.95. Three days after placing my order the company shipped it via USPS First Class mail which is the slowest class of mail. I asked for my expedited shipping fees back and they said no. I have decided to return the item before I have even received it. Never a good idea to support a dishonest business. When I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, I was not surprised to see that the BBB gave this company an "F" rating!

Not satisfied. The primer pen comes out with difficulty and starts thickening like paste when you start applying. The instructions for the color coat says 30 minutes to dry, but it takes well over an hour for each coat. Which doesn't even matter by the time you are putting on the clear coat. The top coat just dissolved the paint color and exposed the primer. Pens arent made well, its quite difficult to actually dispense any paint without constantly warming the pen after each stroke.

TouchUpPaint... BEWARE!
Their product is a gross misrepresentation, it does not match my vehicle. Here's a photo clearly showing the pearl specs in the black paint of my Jeep grand Cherokee and a photo of the bumper bar I painted with the paint that was supposed to match my vehicle. It clearly doesn't match. Yes, it's black, but it's clearly absent of the pearl specs to match my vehicle. They refused to respond and are clearly a scam company.
See for yourself!

DON'T BUY
July 20, 2022

The paint I bought sucks! Doesn't work like instructions from your site or read in the pens themselves! You need to extend the drying time! I followed each step and it was all goey! The clear coat was sticking to the new paint. HORRIBLE RESULTS. After spending 40 bucks and you company didn't put the towel in my kit I ordered. BIG FAIL!

Unpredictable
November 8, 2023

My first order was very good, but I ran out of paint so I ordered just the paint. The single paint order was very poor. There wasn't even enough paint in the pen to wet the tip properly. I ordered again from another supplier. I can't believe that in the span of several weeks this company went from high on my preferred seller list to the bottom of the pile. They need better quality control!

To be fair, like many of the reviews I found the touch up pens to be shades too dark. Touch Up Direct gave me a full refund on that. The Spray can option, yes you have to buy both the base and top coat, is amazing. I had to do some touch up on my wife's 2017 Mustang, a little boo boo on the front fender and soke scratches because some clown thinks that you shouldn't drive a Mustang if you have a disability, long story short, the touch up was perfect. Just as goo as and expensive touch up at a body shop at a fraction of the price. Thank you Touch Up Direct.

I ordered the stick color for my Subaru. The color did not come close. I was asked to take a picture, which I did. No response. I reached out and was asked to take another picture. I did and never heard back. I then received an email to tell them how they did. I feel like I was scammed out of $50. This was a total waste of time and money.

They are impossible to contact! They have a capital F with the Better Business Bureau rating! The photo shows the color match is not even close after crimping and Mig welding Fender skins adding fiberglass Bondo on the seams, adding regular Bondo and glaze and primering and sanding and sanding and sanding for this s*** product! Read the reviews! I cannot believe this company is sponsored by Google! Sad

Waste of time and money
December 15, 2021

Save your money and time. The felt tip pen clogs and paint doesn't flow properly. Contacted customer service and was sent a number of steps to remedy the issue. Nothing worked. Was asked to send numerous documents, including pictures, which I did. Finally, was told 45 days had passed and nothing could be done. I'm stuck with paint in a pen with a defective tip that can't be used. Customer Service needs a refresher course on how to treat customers. I should have read the reviews before wasting my money.

Color didn't match
October 3, 2021

The color didn't match at all! Not even close! Their website says thousands of people have given them 5 stars but there is no way to post a review there. So, I don't believe a single review on there. Also, I bought the most expensive version with color match guarantee and there were no instructions! Don't buy stuff from them- con artists!

DONT BUY THE PENS
January 8, 2020

Bought touch up pens for two vehicles including base coat, mid coat, and clear coat. All the pens worked ONE TIME and then seem to be plugged up.

Followed instructions 100% but putting second coats messed up or wiped out first coats... what a mess

Was a $70 Plus Lesson

The hard fiber pen tips do not permit smooth application, and ruin prior coats (a soft nail polish brush would be better). The paint takes a lot longer to dry than instructions indicate. No very fine sanding material is provided, but this is essential for a good result. The varnish seems to dissolve the paint, even after a day of drying. Hopeless!

I ordered some touch up paint on 3/30. At that time, I paid an extra $5.95 for expedited shipping. Today is 4/6 and the latest delivery estimate is 4/10. I could've driven it faster.
