Hummer Touch Up Paint
This automotive brand is named after the civilian version of the "High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle" or more commonly called, the Humvee. This type of four-wheel drive vehicle has come to supplant the original Jeep in terms of military use but just as its counterpart, this vehicle quickly made the switch into the civilian market. Its notoriety was mostly gained during the first Gulf War as it navigated the hazardous terrain with ease. American Motors' military division AM General was the first company awarded with the U.S. Army contract after submitting a satisfactory prototype.
The first "batch" of Humvees were delivered to the military in 1985, but the Hummer was only available to the public in 1992. Then, in 1999, GM purchased the rights to market and distribute the Hummer brand. For the time being, AM General maintained the Hummer production line for GM. The new holder of the Hummer brand soon decided to introduce new models to the public, the H2 and H3. This prompted GM to retrospectively rename the first model H1. While the H2 was narrower than its predecessor, it was longer and higher. However, the smallest of the Hummer line was the H3. This model, the only complete build made by GM was designed to fit on the GMT355 platform which was also used for the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon. Unfortunately for the brand, when the 2008 financial crisis hit the United States, Hummer fell under GM's reorganization plan. Although a couple purchasing offers were made, ultimately all the deals fell through and the brand was eventually discontinued in 2010. Even though the brand called it quits, it's not a reason to give up on your Hummer. All you need to restore it is a little bit of TouchUpDirect's quality Hummer touch up paint. Our paint is as versatile and as durable as this tough vehicle.
What tools do I need for a Hummer touch up paint job?
To create the best looking coat for your vehicle, we recommend the following:
PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT - It goes without saying that you need paint to do a touch up paint job. Clearcoat provides a thin protective layer for your paint job while Primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.
WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH - The wax and grease remover cloth is used to remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.
SANDPAPER - Wet-sanding the affected area removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.
POLISHING COMPOUND - The polishing compound smooths everything out with a factory-grade finish.
These tools are all available with our Platinum kit but can be purchased separately on the TouchUpDirect website.
