Default touch up paint..

Has anyone had any experience with those touch up pens or paints?


I have a silver audi, and have many black spots on the front bumber from road debris. What would be the best thing to cover these up?

Yeah, you can get the paint and the clear coat from the dealer. I really hate having to suggest that anyone go to a dealer, but that's the easiest way to get the factory paint.

hey come on guy us dealers arn't that bad our prices are higher for a reason the techs we have here are all trained with the latest equipment like your not going to take your 2004 a8 to joe's garage are you he isn't going to know whats going on with that car. The parts are all factory parts with 1 yr 20km or12miles warrenty but you know that they are also quailty parts not something that is going to leave you on the side of the highway

Audi prices are way overinflated. You can take the same part number to the VW dealer and get it for like half off. It's insane.

Yup, I have done that several times Jestnomen. The VW dealer down here will not work on Audis though. I thought I could get the wheel bearing done cheaper there than at the Audi dealership and they wouldn't touch it. Said they weren't allowed to work on Audis. Just part of the strangle hold the dealer has down here.
