Anyone have the Audi p/n for Aruba Blue touchup paint (preferably bottle w/brush)? Can't locate it via ETKA for some reason.

i actaully bought the paint pen for an ibis white.

the official audi one. it worked out well horribly as whatever paint they have in those touchup kits has some sort of chemical in it that seems to eat into the oem paint/ clear.

having owned a car with pearl flakes before in it (it was a white pearl) i can only imagine how difficult it could be to get looking right on a pearl car..

that said, i think they only sell the paint pens in america. i know in europe you can get the colors in bottles officially from audi but i havent been able to find a store with just bottle/brush in america.

Yeah, the pens suck. Definitely looking for the old-style bottle/brush from over on the other side of the pond. Any of our European members (still there) have the p/n?

My dealer said they only come in the crappy pens which I HATE. If anyone finds the brush style, please let me know.

Hey, thanks. Is this for the bottle/brush and where did you order yours from?

Unfortunately it is the pen set. I got it from the dealership.

Well, after much searching, I've come up with nothing... except for the pen. This sux. Guess it's the WAY overpriced, POS pen applicator then. Unless anyone overseas has a brush/bottle p/n for us? Anyone?

Take a look at http://automotivetouchup.com
I've seen the place recomended by others but have no personal experience with them.

Yeah, I've used them before but they don't have any 2010 Audi colors available yet.
