TouchUpPaint.com Sponsored Porsche GT3 Cup Back in Action!
After the pandemic briefly paused the racing season, International GT roared back to life with back-to-back race weekends in Wisconsin and Ohio in June and the TouchUpPaint.com Porsche GT3 Cup was in the thick of the racing at both tracks.
Chuck Smithee piloted the car to two podium finishes in the sprint races at iconic Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin over the June 18-21 weekend with a third place finish in the first sprint and a second place in sprint number two. Tight multi-class, wheel-to-wheel racing in Sunday’s enduro led to some car contact halfway through Sunday’s enduro that unfortunately knocked the #55 out of the race..
The Zotz Racing team had the car back up to spec the very next weekend at Mid-Ohio where Smithee snagged a second in class in Sunday’s 90 minute enduro. Smithee’s TouchUpPaint.com Porsche GT3 Cup is now running second in points for the Mission Foods GT3 Cup Trophy for the season.

TouchUpPaint.com: The Authority on Automotive Refinish
About Us
TouchUpPaint.com has launched its new DIY touch up paint how-to website. Initially focused on how to choose a touch up paint kit, and how to use it to get great results, the site will expand into broader automotive refinish topics including scratch removal (without paint), protective coatings (new ceramic-based products) and related DIY techniques and products.
Touchuppaint.com enters the market with a “quality over quantity” approach to website content. Using practical repair experiments on real body panel scratches and chips, input from industry veterans, interviews with paint manufacturers and engineers, our experienced technical writers go into the science and practice of automotive paint refinish, restore and protection.
The touch up paint kit review analyzes and compares six touch up paint kits from established companies.
As car lovers ourselves, we found hard-to-follow instructions, hard to compare products, and no clear source to explain things like:
- Solventborne vs. waterborne, and why does it matter?
- Application techniques
- Primer tinting and does it matter?
- Leveling the clear coat
- Do I sand first?
- How do all these kits compare on features and price?
We aim to answer these questions and more. We hope you find the content helpful as you navigate the world of aftermarket automotive refinish and restoration.
