HELP......

I just got my silver A4 back from body shop-got my lowers painted. It looks amazing and the job the shop did was perfect but when I first get in the car, it smells like paint and/or body shop. When I turn the A/C on smell goes away, but when I get back in smell re-appears. Am I being too "smell sensitive", is my new car smell gone forever, how can I get smell out, will it go away on it's own?

The smell should fade, you should air out the car for a few hours also...............

are you in the northeast by any chance? Just wanted to know where you got your lowers painted.

I am actually in Florida, but I went to the dealer I purchased car from and they refered me to the body shop that they use for all their Audi body repairs. The body shops dealers use are familiar with Audi and color match perfectly. Call your dealer, they'll hook you up. Cost was $453 in case you wanted to know.
