Default Touch up Paint

I have a few, small spots on my car that need a little touch up paint. I have a 98 a4 with Peral White paint. (l0b9) I asked the dealer yesterday, and they only had it in spray paint form?! First of all, I thought this was a multi-coat type paint? Also, spray painting just seems terrible to me. Needless to say, I didn't buy it.

My question to you guys, does Audi sell touch up bottles of paint/clear coat/etc for my color..(L0b9)?
If so how much does it cost?

Also, is there any on the net? I've been looking and I haven't really found too much for my color.

Thanks

I'm not sure if this would work for the pearl white, from what i hear its a nightmare to touch up ....

I used spray cans on my silver bumper, depending on the size of the scratch or damage it may be easier for you as well but itwould require a little sanding and feathering if I'm not mistaken.

Looks like that is everything that I need--3 coats.

Brrman, were you happy with how it turned out after using this?

I need to order touch up paint too and was wondering how to find the exact color of my car?
on paint scratch they have only one color of "hibiscus red" for a 98 A4, is that the right one?

Look in your trunk under the carpet and you will see what your paint number is. That way you can be sure to get the exact color.

No problem, I forgot to mention, along with your color red, there is also a Laser Red. So make sure you got the right one.

Yeah I thought it turned out pretty well when I used it. Use a black or very dark gray primer tho.
