Did I fix my Ford Maverick… or make it worse? 😬
In this video, I put Agate Black Metallic (UM) touch-up paint to the test on my 2023 Ford Maverick to repair some scratches. This is the exact factory color, so in theory, it should blend perfectly… but as anyone who’s worked with black metallic paint knows, it’s not always that simple.
The real question:
👉 Did this actually improve the look?
👉 Or did I just make the scratches more noticeable?
👉 And most importantly… did I at least protect the bare metal from rust?
I walk through the full DIY process step-by-step, show the application, and give you an honest before-and-after in different lighting conditions so you can decide if this is worth doing on your own truck.
💡 Key Takeaways
Touch-up paint isn’t always about perfection. Even if the finish isn’t flawless, covering exposed metal can:
- Help prevent rust and corrosion
- Protect your paint long-term
- Improve the overall look from a normal viewing distance
But… results may vary 😅
