Similar to other reviewers. The paint seems a poor quality, and does not cover well, thin and lacking in depth. Also doubtful about good colour match. Looks like I will have to strip back and respr... See more

I brought a touch up pen for my car as the scratch was too deep. I was dubious at first thinking it wouldn’t match but was pleasantly surprised it has blended so well with the colour of my car, even I have difficulty finding the original scratch. It was quite difficult to get the top off, hence only 4 stars but would recommend.

Coloured water as touch up paint.

Ordered from this company as recommended on a forum, a massive mistake. Ordered rust remover and touch up paint. Arrived with 0 instructions, I realise it is just rust remover and touch up paint but you have to leave on for a certain amount of time before you can move on to the next step. Got in touch and was emailed instructions.

The paint was so watery that is was like when you wash a paint brush and it is nearly clean. It will take me at least 20 coats and probably still will not cover correctly. I got in touch with the company who stated that there was a error at the mixing dept. and would send me out a replacement.

Received the replacement and it is exactly the same.

I have wasted my money buying from this company. Will now need to buy from another hopefully more on the ball company.

Do not use this company for touch up paint.

Absolutely terrible experience

Absolutely terrible experience. My order has been 'in the post' for nearly 1 month with no sign of arrival. Customer service was dismissive and just passed the blame onto Royal Mail rather than taking any responsibility. Save yourself the stress and shop elsewhere.

I definitely will not use this company again for anything. I ordered some paint for my bike and when it came it should’ve been a mat finish and it was clearcoat I didn’t realise until I put the final coat on the paint didn’t match and the clearcoat was too shiny when I contacted them all they said was well that is the paint that is supplied for your bike but it isn’t. It’s wrong so definitely do not use this company.

Great Great company. Great product

Great company. Great product. I have been trying to get a touch up paint for my Vauxhall Corsa since I bought it new 2 years ago. Incredibly, Vauxhall have still not made available a touch up paint for my car. The paint pen arrived quickly and is a perfect match enabling me to deal with those tiny little marks that sadly turn up after you've been in a car park. Many thanks to Madpaints.

Really disappointed with my experience…

Really disappointed with my experience with Mad Paints.

I’ve ordered from them before and had no issues, but this time the product was completely different. The can itself was lower quality, and the paint was extremely watery and wouldn’t adhere properly to the car at all.

I had a professional working on it, and even he said straight away the paint was poor quality. We ended up having to go out and buy another brand, which worked perfectly — so it clearly wasn’t an application issue.

When I contacted them, instead of taking responsibility, I was met with a long list of questions implying user error, despite me providing photos and explaining the situation clearly. The responses came across quite dismissive, and no refund was offered — only another can of the same paint, which I obviously don’t want.

Overall, really frustrating experience. Poor product this time round and even worse customer service. Wouldn’t recommend based on this experience.

Madpaints were superb

Madpaints were superb! Emily's customer service was excellent. Hard job matching the paint of my daughters car, weird MG3 colour, but Emily got the colour scanned and mixed within 20 minutes of me being there. Job Done!

Asked a question about the paint to their sales email and followed up when they didn't reply. Still got completely ignored. Glad that sales team don't work for me!

Imagine if you actually had an issue and needed help.

Off to their competitors I go.

Hi Richard,

First of all, we’re really sorry you had this experience. Being ignored — especially when you’re trying to make a purchase — is frustrating, and that’s absolutely not the standard we aim for.

We did experience an unexpected email outage last week which unfortunately meant some incoming messages weren’t received as they should have been. We’re currently working through the backlog and contacting anyone affected.

That said, we completely understand why this left a bad impression, and we appreciate you flagging it. If you’re still open to it, please feel free to reach out again at sales@madpaints.co.uk, and we’ll make sure you get a prompt response.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention — and again, our apologies.

Hi Chris,

We’re sorry to hear that the touch-up paint wasn’t what you expected. We understand how disappointing it is when the colour doesn’t match as it should.

There can sometimes be factors that affect how a colour appears, but we would really like the opportunity to look into this properly for you.

Please could you send us an email at sales@madpaints.co.uk with your order details and, if possible, a photo of the paint applied? We’ll review this as a priority and work with you to resolve the matter.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to helping get this sorted.
