touch up paint
 

Does anyone know of a site that has good touch up paint for audi's. I have a 1999 a4 2.8 quattro and its volcano black. How do i get the paint code? Any way i should do this to make it unnoticeable? Should i get clearcoat too?

I got the touch up paint from audi and it still lookes like shit.
Also just so you know it did have a clearcoat and a paint jar.

does it look better than the scratch there or should i just leave it? What color is ur car?

RE: touch up paint
 

my car is blue.
well I think that it will look ok if I wetsand it and buff it out.
But for now it just looks like a 2in blue scratch.

how do u wet sand a car?

RE: touch up paint
 

you use a real fine grit sand paper with water.( not for sure but might be like a 2000 grit paper)
But if you dont know how to do it ,I woul find someone who does and have them do it.
It is very easy to burn through the paint and that will look much worse then the scratch did.

If you don't know how to do it, I strongly suggest you don't do it. Find someone who knows to wet sand it for you. I've learned my lesson from my previous car - Acura TL-S. I messed it up and ended up in a shop for repaint. It costs me more than just touch-up. :(

Volcano black is paint code - LZ9U

I think there is a sticker by the spare tire well, and in your manual iirc.
