The Touch Up Shop has been helping drivers restore and refresh their vehicles for nearly four decades. Since 1986, the mission has stayed consistent: deliver professional-grade automotive paint results without the cost, complexity, or inconvenience of a traditional body shop.
What started as a passion for precision color matching has grown into a trusted online destination for car owners who want factory-correct results they can achieve themselves. Today, The Touch Up Shop serves DIY users, enthusiasts, and professionals who all share one goal—restoring paintwork to a clean, consistent, factory-quality finish.
With a growing digital platform, expanded vehicle coverage, and a strategic alignment with Kolor Koalition, The Touch Up Shop continues to evolve beyond a paint supplier. It is becoming a complete system for automotive color restoration, education, and support.
A Legacy Built on Automotive Color Accuracy
Automotive paint is more than just color—it’s chemistry, layering, and precision under changing light conditions. Since 1986, The Touch Up Shop has focused on one core strength: factory OEM color matching done right.
Unlike generic paint retailers, every formula is built to replicate manufacturer-specific paint codes so customers receive a finish that blends seamlessly into their existing vehicle. From subtle metallic tones to complex pearl finishes, accuracy is everything.
Over time, this expertise has evolved into a commitment to consistency. Whether you’re repairing a small scratch, fixing a chip, or refreshing an entire panel, consistent color and finish are what make a repair truly invisible.

OEM Factory Color Matching That Makes the Difference
One of the most important parts of any repair is getting the color right. Many off-the-shelf paints only offer close approximations, which often fail to blend properly under natural light.
The Touch Up Shop uses Factory OEM Color Matching to ensure every paint kit is mixed to exact manufacturer specifications based on your vehicle’s paint code. This ensures:
- Accurate metallic alignment
- Correct pigment structure
- Proper gloss and reflection
- Seamless blending with surrounding panels
Even small variations can make a repair visible, which is why precision is central to every mix.
