Default Audi Touch-Up Paint

Has anybody ever used this product? How well does it work?

I've used the Lake Silver touch up paint for the TT. Works okay on tiny spots.

Default Mostly depends on your color and your technique.

If you buy the right color, it will match; that's the smallest issue. But metallic paints (like metallic silver) are virtually impossible to get exactly right -- something about the way the flakes fall when blobbed on, versus when they're sprayed on; the color may be right, but it still looks like it's a different shade because of the way light is reflected off it. On my wife's brilliant black car, the Audi touch-up paint is a great match. But technique is the most important part of it. Check out the article at carcareonline.com for how to correctly make a touch-up repair. One thing's for sure: never use the brush that comes with the touch up paint!

Default Re: I dunno...

I just got a call from my Audi dealer - ordered Pearlescant touch up for my '91 90, and it's in. Not only that, but I also just now ordered Langka as discussed on this site for eliminating touch-up blobs. Now I'm all geeked up to try that and see if it works. Analicity forever!!!
