2K miles and so I'm washing my car and I find a chip that's so deep i can see the metal. ARG!!! Frustrated?!?! Damn right! So I need info on the black touchup paint, how much it is, where to get it, how well it works, if you can tell afterwards that you touched it up etc.<p>Thanx.<p>Albert

Dealership?

Check the "How too" section of carcareonline.com They have an excellent article on fixing paint chips. I followed the advice on a front bumper chip that was quite bad. After 10 or 12 coats of paint and using the sanding block, buffing etc. you can barely see it. I bought the touch up paint from my dealer. You get a two bottle system. One for the color and one for clear coat. The cost of the Audi paint was around $ 6.00<br>Good luck<br>Roy M 2.8q Tip

Follow the link to get the code. Then order the applicator from your dealer (or Clair).<p>1998 Brilliant Black color code is <tt>L 0Y9B01</tt><p>Drew S.<br><ul><li><a href="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/audi/">Audi Paint Color Codes</a></li></ul>

Albert,<br>I got mine from the dealer since they have the paint codes. Otherwise, if you go through another source, you have to give them your paint codes. Mine were located on a sticker affixed to the inside of my spare wheel well. I don't know where it is for newer cars.<br>BTW, every time I wash the car, I put another thin layer of the paint in the chip. Once you build it up you can buff it down. A tip I learned from the paint/body shop I use.<br>-C.<br>
