"I originally purchased the Applied Colors touch-up kit for my Paintless Dent Repair Technician. The thought was to use it as an easy and complete kit for those instances when the damaged area was also chipped or scratched. We used to carry a small selection of store bought touch-up. 9 times out of 10 we didn't have the correct color and the tops always seemed to break. We could get a few uses out of the 8.95$ tube and would end up throwing the dried up remains away only to do it all over again. The Applied Colors paints have a very good shelf life, the kit is compact and we very rarely have to mix to get the correct color. Well worth every penny."

"As the owner of a mobile S.M.A.R.T repair business I was looking for a quick and easy way of touching up scratches and road rash as an alternative to mixing colour coded factory paint. On almost every car I work on for owners or auto traders  I get the question of touching up some minor scratch or road rash blemishes in addition to painting and blending out body panels.  The ScratchOut kit fit the bill perfectly by providing us with a very fast and inexpensive tool for minor touch ups.

As opposed to matching factory waterborne paint and mixing with clear coat  I can now use the provided color chart and mix a small amount for a small touch up in just minutes  knowing this will be a lasting solution.  There’s no need for an IR lamp for curing and the touch up is ready for buff and polish (if needed) in just minutes.  My customers are thrilled by the results and the relatively small fee.  This kit has paid it self over and over again and comes highly recommended.

-Bent Karlsen: Owner of Color Vision Norway

"We own two Applied Colors touch up kits.  I chose the kit because it's affordable and easy to learn.  Most repairs take 10 minutes and we charge $40.  Color matching is excellent, and feedback from customers has been positive.  We do most of our work on a mobile basis, so we needed a system that's compact.  Their system fits in a tidy toolbox that doesn't take up much room in our two vans.  It's easy to keep the items in the box organized.  Customers ask for this service from us frequently, and now we can answer this request regardless of the color of their car.  I think it's a great addition to any detail operation." 

-Mike: Owner of Extreme Details

"Rock chips and scratches on my inventory have given us a lot of problems in the past.  I had two options:  order touchup paint from the dealer or pay a vendor $50 to touch up each car.  Both were expensive and time consuming.  Customers often test drove the cars before the touchup was done, and some customers have a strong reaction to scratched cars. The Scratchout kit allows us to do our touch ups in house immediately after our cars are detailed.  The system was easy to learn, and the colors work for all of my cars—domestic and import.  I get a color match, place the paint in a cup, and touch up the chips and scratches with a fine brush.  The results are great. The Scratchout system has been a great time and money saver for my dealership and I recommend it to any dealer out there."

"We purchased the Applied Colors System to supplement our auto parts, paint and touch up business. We have been in business for over 10 years and are pleased to finally find a system that works and is easy to use. We do paint touch up on lot and trade in cars, many with deep chips and road rash. Our old method was to individually brush touch as many chips as we could, but that left a lot of the smaller chips and scratches untouched. With this system we are able to eliminate a majority of the chips and road rash at a fraction of time. We were also able to ask more for the service and already picked up new accounts using this system in demonstrations.  The main reason for us purchasing this system was the portability of having all our paints in an easy to store tool box.  Also one of the best features of this system is the easy to use color chart. Instead of looking up each color code, this system uses an easy to follow color guide which saves you 10-15 minutes in time. You don’t need to look up each color code on the micro fiche or computer. This is one of the best investments we have made so far in expanding our business and customer service. Applied Colors has been a great company to deal with and we look forward to dealing with them in the future.

"We buy hundreds of cars from many sources.  There's always minor paint damage on them and we've used the Applied Colors system as part of our in house reconditioning process.  It's worked out well.  The system was easy to learn and apply.  It's not overly complicated, so anyone in our operation can perform the touch ups.  I'd recommend it to dealers and wholesalers regardless of how large or small they are."

"We buy and sell large volumes of used cars (all makes) with minor paint damage.  This system is perfect for us.  Lots of money saved on vendor expenses."
