And just a FYI, Silver happens to be a very hard color to paint-match.

Default Its a 6 week old 2008 A8, should it be that hard to reproduce? I thought there are manufacturer

paint codes that are virtually certain matches. No? silver is still the hardest?

Default its the getting it to blend right part, not so much the color

Its the sparkles and distribution of them that makes it look different.

Ive had silver resprayed and it can be very hard to tell unless you are looking for it. Ive also seen some bad jobs done.

Default Well, I'm going to a AoA Certified A8 repair shop,

AoA "lurks" on the AW site, and they're guaranteeing me it will be showroom perfect....IT had better be. They know not yet who they are dealing with.
