Europa vs. Santorin, or paint codes in general?
Installing my E-code Valeo Projectors this weekend seemed like a fine idea; so I went down to the dealer and got touch up paint to seal the ends of the sheet metal I'm going to cut.
I told them it was metalic blue. Dark, as opposed to the abomination which is Pelican blue. They sold me Europa blue touch up, and claimed there were no other dark metalic blues (I question this).
Now, I'm wondering if that's right.
1) Is there a paint code somewhere?
2) My car is a 1998 2.8QM. According to the
1998 paint chart I've seen, A4s came in Santorin while A6s were Europa. Is this accurate?
I've seen on-line pictures, where Santorin is slightly lighter; although comparing pictures to the real thing it could be either.
