AUTOMOTIVETOUCHUP MAKES IT EASY TO MATCH YOUR HELMET TO YOUR CAR

NEW ORLEANS – With AutomotiveTouchup, show and race car owners alike can paint their helmets to perfectly match their vehicle. With more than 60,000 OEM colors and more than 300,000 custom-mixed formulas, AutomotiveTouchup can create any color needed.

Mitch Mitchell, Show-Me Mustang Club Regional Director for Mustang Club of America, used AutomotiveTouchup paint to custom match his show car helmet to his Mustang Mach 1. Mitchell’s Mustang is a unique vehicle painted in a very limited production color called Azure Blue. This particular shade of blue was only ever placed on Mach 1 Mustangs and used for just two years before being removed from Ford’s color lineup. As the OEM no longer manufactures this color, Mitchell turned to AutomotiveTouchup to secure just the right color to match his beloved Mustang.

“AutomotiveTouchup makes the impossible possible. I come from a body shop and insurance background, so I am especially particular about paint match. I’ve used multiple products from AutomotiveTouchup, and I am impressed by all of them. They’re easy to use, high quality and I always get a perfect match,” Mitchell said.
