FAQs about Questions About Touch Up Paint

Do you have touch-up paint for my car?
Unfortunately, we do not yet sell automotive and car touch up paint. We recommend that you check out our partners who DO sell a wide variety of automotive touch-up paint. Automotive Touch Up Paint products make it easy and affordable to restore your automobile to like-new condition thanks to their precision touch-up paint technology.
How much touch-up paint can I buy at a time?
We specialize in exact match touch up paint solutions for any application. We can exact match any color/finish and provide this paint in aerosol spray paint, brush-in-cap bottles, cans in any size and touch up paint pens in small to large quantities. Whether you need one-ounce jars with a built-in brush cap for hassle-free and mess-free touching up of small imperfections on-site, aerosol spray cans, half-pint, pint, quarts, gallons, or five-gallon cans - we provide solutions that will best meet your specific needs. We have no minimum orders and do offer bulk discount pricing.
What is the formulation fee and do I need to pay that on a reorder?
The formulation fee is a charge that may be applied for the development of a new color formula. This fee covers the costs involved in the research, testing, and creation of a custom color, especially when it's the first time such a color is being produced. MyPerfectColor only charges this fee once per color, and is not required on reorders. MyPerfectColor also waives the initial formulation fee with initial orders over $600.
Can I use a Pantone color code for a touch-up application?

Unfortunately, no.

Manufacturers sometimes specify Pantone color codes as a touch up solution for their products, but Pantone colors do not work well as a proxy for a touch-up solution.

There are several reasons why. First, a Pantone code doesn't include any information about sheen. Second, Pantone color tolerances are not tight enough for touch-up applications. The Pantone Matching System was designed as an ink standard and the color swatches across color books vary too much to be used as a touch-up standard. Third, the methods often used by a manufacturer to determine which Pantone color code to use also has error which compounds the problem.

Touch up paint needs to be very precise. The smallest difference stands out like a flashing light and after seeing hundreds of examples of both production parts and the specified Pantone color code that is supposed to match, we can tell you that 99% of the time the color is pretty far off.

When we match Pantone colors we are matching to a swatch in a Pantone book - not to your product.

The only way to provide a true touch-up solution for your product is to precisely match the sheen and color of a production part or control standard. Unfortunately, there isn't an effective way to 'spec' the color well enough to produce a touch-up without a physical part.
