The good news is that the color appears to match. It will take another 6-8 coats to cover before I can be sure of the match. Before anyone asks "did you shake it well", yes I shock the heck out of it. I owned a body shop for 23 years so I know how to do a touch up. This is the most watered down touch up paint I've ever used.
It's a scam. Although they send you a product it is not worth a cent. Very little paint in pen and tip does not work. Clear coat is the same, plus it strips the paint applied. Read some of the other complaints. A ONE is too good but the lowest rating available.
White aerosol was actually grey. Provided photo's of their paint against the factory paint but then all communication ceased.
Was looking to fix large scrap in front bumper. Before I took on ths project, I thought I would gain some experience working on a small scrape in the rear bumper first. Primer seemed to go on okay. When I used the color code (Alpine white, 2016 BMW, 528i), for a first application, it bubbled. I had to wipe off with my fingernails and papertowel to start over. The second coat came out with gritty surface. Sanded it down with small grit sandpaper to try to get a smooth surface. Kind of worked but had to come back several times to try to get a smooth surface. Now I'm stuck but really afraid to try the clearcoat. When I take this step, I will be committed because the overcoat should not come off. Now I'm going to have to purchase a different product for the front bumper. Terrible and frustrating waste of time, energy, and frustration.
The clearcoat removed the touch up paint that was applied. Sent them info they requested but no response.
I'll be short here. For $65 you get 3 sharpies, 3 pcs of 2"X2" sand paper, a alcohol wipe in a letter envelope. Went through every step of instructions twice and still same results. Paint (Porsche Black) would not adhere to the primary 3 base coats of primer. Clear coat pen would just dissolve the primary paint off the primer. Waste of time and money on very cheap, poor quality paint and supplies.
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.
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!
I tried 3 times to place an order and failed each time. The web site would NOT let me finish the order and check out. It's web sites like this that keep me from getting my work done on time, making me look bad to my customers. They sell one product and you cant purchase it. If you go to McDonalds and can't buy a hamburger, as far as I'm concerned, they are out of business. Touchupdirect DOES NOT deserve to be in business. Don't waste your time trying to place an online order with them. Also, to place an order, you must agree to accept their sites cookies into your system.

I can understand a bad variant of paint. Not two. The paint doesn't even come close to matching, or blending. The 2nd can was watered down. Even after shaking it. I reached out their customer service and received no response. I had to order from another source. They lost out on a major opportunity.
Don't buy from this company, there is no warranty, you'll see after explaining to customer service that your project is totally ruined by their color match paint.
Once they received the photo's of their paint against the factory paint all communication ceased.
I've been painting for years, even Duplicolor gets closer on a match than this outfit.
Do you self a favor and your vehicle, pass on these clowns.
Ordered touch up paint for a GMC truck color not even close even looks a flat. Had to jump through so many hoops to get them to replace or refund still waiting for an answer not even worth the hassle
I sprayed a light coat and it looked fine. I sprayed a second coat about an hour later and it looks like textured paint! I am very dissatisfied after spending 3 times the money for what I believe was a superior product.
This useless company, uses the cheapest delivery systems as possible, why make a hopefully decent product and ruin it with bad service and slow delivery!
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!
Touch-up Direct provides a factory match paint. My order was a tri color Ivory Pearl that was dead on. What I never expected was the amazing ongoing customer service and satisfaction I received. This company went way beyond what I ever dreamed to make doing business with them amazing. I'm a real fussy guy about my vehicles and this company will always have my business.
Product is great needed help with some shipping info, spoke to a lady, she was great, great product, great
People, that's how you do it, all the BEST to the great team at TouchUpDirect

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
People are nice to answer, but the 2018 pearl Toyota color doesn't match. See picture. I used primer, color base, color mid, and clear coat. Obviously the 2 darker spots are TouchUpDirect's 089 color.
While the customer service was great the product was horrible. I used it on some tiny spots on the hood that were hit with pebbles. They did not come out smooth, the hood looks worse now than before. Now I will need to bring the car to an auto body to fix it properly and paint the hood. Don't use this product unless you are a Pro at auto touch up.
Answer: Their colors don't even come close to matching! Repeat, their colors do not even come close to matching factory color codes! They are possible to contact and are a rip off! Remember, I warned you!
Answer: One can used properly should be just enough, be sure and get the top coat as well. (Clear)
