Just as the title says, paint in a bottle thats put on with a brush; can I get it? All the online dealers want to sell me a touch up pen. I tried that and it doesn't apply enough to blend, not to mention its dull looking and doesn't match right.

Aftermarket paint will not work. Its thinner than OEM paint and doesn't blend well. I use that for painting full parts, but its no good for touch-ups.

The dealer gave me a touch-up pen and I didn't like it. I am also wondering if I can just pull out the stem and use a small painting brush instead.

Also, what is the correct procedure for touch-up? How do you blend the paint?

Do a search of this forum - there are a few threads on this subject.
Some have reported success with Dr. Color Chip (or something like that).

Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of the paint sticks the dealers are selling. The only place I could find a bottle + brush for my color was a company in the UK that blends the stuff. Don't recall the cost and the color match wasn't great. I've since switched to Dr Colorchip and am having very good luck with that and their color match is spot on.

If you are OK with spray cans, I have heard this product is good:

Yes, Audi has a kit with original paint and clear coat in "nail polish" bottles with brush. Ask your dealer to get it for you.

I'll go tomorrow and tell them to order it. I need that. The paint from the other places isn't working. And if they won't, I'll have the VW dealer get it.

My dealer stocks this. I bought the set in the Fall to touch up a nick on my rear fender.

Okay, my dealer is incompetent. Actually, both dealers. I went to VW and Audi today, and both told me they couldn't get anything with a brush.

Is there someplace where I can find the part numbers for these so I can just give it to them? I just can't deal with people who cannot properly do the job that they're paid to do.
