Well worth the money

Don't get me wrong, paint pens have their place, but with the damage I was trying to repair they didn't work too well. Fortunately, I was able to empty them, and use my air brush to repair my paint. Fortunately, it's worked out well so far I just need to fine sand, compound, and polish my repair. But in my absolutely honest opinion, if you have a scratch that goes to bare metal, and it's in a place where it's easily seen; go spend $100 on a hobby airbrush, and buy a proper jar of paint. It will always come out significantly better than what you can do with paint pens. With all that said, PaintScratch has the exact paint I need for my car, and they packaged everything very well, and have a great set of instructions on the website. The kit I bought was well worth the money, just saying I wish I had got a jar rather than a paint pen. That said, this paint is really hard to clear out of an airbrush lol. But 3M adhesive remover works wonders, just a nice little tip if anyone has overspray/running/clogged stuff. Reason I chose this business: I used duplicolor on my dodge a few years back, and holy hell did that stuff look bad. Granted, my car probably had really faded clear coat, and I didn't prep right. But that stuff ran like crazy. Again, a proper air brush, even a cheap one is really the way to go, and paintscratch has the proper paint.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our [Paint Code Guide] for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your vehicle's color code is [COLOR CODE], this paint will be a perfect match. Every order is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While Primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, Clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

 How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

Depending on the size of the damage, here's what we recommend:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Because paint is custom-mixed, cancellations aren’t possible. But if there’s a color match issue, we’ll give you your money back!

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
