Fix scratches in your car's exact factory color.

We mix your paint to the car maker's own formula for your color code, after you order. Paint the scratch, smooth it, done. No sanding and no clear coat.

A body shop repaints the whole panel. You only need to fill the scratch.

That is why body shop scratch repairs cost so much. With a touch-up kit, you fix the same damage at home for a fraction of the price.

First, find your color code

Check the code before you buy. It is on a sticker or plate on the car, most often in one of these places:

  • Driver's door frame
  • Under the hood
  • Trunk floor or spare wheel well

It is often in the service book, too.

Codes look like LC9X, 475 or 040.

Painting a scratch on a car door with a Genuine Colors pen

Three steps, no experience needed

  1. Prepare

    Clean the area around the scratch. If you can see bare metal, apply the primer and wait 2–3 hours.

  2. Paint

    Shake the bottle for about one minute. Paint over the damage with the brush, or take off the cap and use the pen.

  3. Smooth

    Press the smoothing tool onto the paint to remove the excess. On long scratches, sweep it along the line.

No clear coat needed. For an even finer finish, polish the area after 2–3 days.

Choose your kit

Every kit has paint in your color, with a pen and a brush. The complete kit adds primer for scratches down to bare metal.
