Dupli-Color Ai1 Tuxedo Blk Metallic Uh

OK, perfect match for the very traditional Ford Oxford White color. Doingsometouch ups on a recent surplus auction fleet truck. Color is spot on and the chip repairs are very good. The use of the touch up pen for scratches is a work in progress. After a full multi-day cure, I'll cut that down with some light 400gr on the finger tip and then retouch as needed before blending. It ain't perfect, but it's darn good stuff.

I'll cover a few things first, the packaging is confusing. ALWAYS stand the paint with the fat end down, with the label facing you and readable, remove the top cap by unscrewing it and the brush will be facing down into the paint, unscrew the bottom to access the foam brush with the clear coat. do NOT hold the paint with the label upside down or you will spill everything when you open it. If you are repairing your Tesla Model 3 Rims, the color is spot on. To make a perfect repair, do not rush and just apply the paint to the scraped rim. . Just applying paint will look better than the scrapes, but not very good. Get fine grit sand paper and sand the surface flat first The color match will be so close you will not spot it afterwards. I sanded with two different grit sandpaper, applied gray primer, and let it dry for 24 hours before applying the first coat of paint. Let it dry a good amount of time, because the first coat of paint will tend to liquefy if you apply the second coat too soon. The paint is actually quite thick, so be aware that when you start the painting process. I didn't use the clearcoat because the color and shine are so close to the original paint since I scraped my rim after owning my new car only three days. I compiled this from my experience using it and confirming the advice given by other users. A side note, the paint has a pressure sensitive point that will apply paint by pressing the tip to the object you wish to apply the paint to. I don't recommend using it on the rims. it tends to apply thick blobs. Also, there is very little paint in the kit, so be sparing with it. The picture is the actual repaired rim, and the damage was pretty obvious. Take your time, and be patient, the repair will look great! I hope this helps,

Exact color match. Worked pretty well

Good color match easy to use

Excellent product!! The color is an exact match, and the applicator with the fine end/brush/clear coat is a really good design. I recommend waiting 30min between each of 2-3 coats for the best look. Very glad this company/product exists, will remain a customer!

I got this for a Ford that is a pearlescent white. If you use this color alone, it will NOT match the car's original color if the scratch is anything more than superficial. If you're down to bare metal or black plastic, you have more work to do. I got this to paint a replacement backup sensor that comes unpainted (black plastic). In order to get it to match, I sprayed the sensor with primer, let that dry. Then I sprayed the primer with plain white. Next, I used the product being reviewed here since it adds the metallic/pearlescent finish. Finally, you have to clearcoat it or it will be a matte finish. If you just brush this on anything other than a white finish, it will just be metallic silver. You must also add a gloss to it. The finished product once you do everything properly, is a very good match to the original, but you can't just smear this stuff on by itself. The only part I didn't like is that the consistency is a lot runny. If you're not careful, the surface will not be even. Also, it will take at least two light coats applied gently. The stuff in the pen has a lot of solvent and will remove the white layer below if you're not careful. One quick brushstroke and be done. In the photo, you can see the upper right (old) sensor side was primed and painted with the Duplicolor brush. It is silver, not white. On the face of the sensor, you can see the actual car color. On the lower left sensor side, you can see a sloppy test with primer, white, and Duplicolor (did not gloss the test part).

Color is perfect. Easy to use. It sands, touches up, and seals.

This color was not even close. Worse match I have seen, EVER. I shook the bottle multiple times, stored it upside down shook even longer the next time but never got better. Tried everything i could but still sucked. Suppose to be dark gray with some metallic, but was close to Silver, like to much metallic. Worse part is after you open it to try it you can not return it. Go figure. Oh well my cheap one I bought previous is much closer so I just did my repairs with it. Just trying to pay the higher price for better results that failed miserably. Live and learn. Good luck if you try this brand.

It doesn't work, I tried using it and the the thing would not work, the brush part of the touch up paint would not open either, i tried almost anything to open it but the thing would not budge, I'm very upset with my purchase and know never to buy any Dupli-Color products ever again

Touch up on my Camaro

Good match

Good quality. Perfect match to my colour. Works much better than the pencil I originally bought at the dealer.

Proper GM paint for my 2002 Camaro SS. Super!
