Can anyone recommend a Manhattan shop, aside from the one dealer, that uses Audi paint? I have a paint scrape on the rim of on wheel well.

Any good, qualified body shop should be able to match the paint. The dealers usually sublet to a body shop in any case.

And Audi doesn't mfr paint...

No but don't they supply ex-factory paint?

Standox owned by DuPont and Glasurit owned by BASF.

I doubt it very much.

Modern paint matching techniques are quite sophisticated. I don't know that I'd be overly-concerned about this.

If your dealer doesn't have a repair facility, here are the published lists for shops in the USA: http://www.audiusa.com/help/collision-repair

Make sure you review the A8 list for additional choices.

I took my red B7 A4 to Mercedes of Mahattan when my quarter panel and rear bumper got hit by some old guy driving and they did am outstanding job. In fact they did just a good job that Audi commented on how clean the body was like 3 months later when I took it for service. They couldn't even tell the car was in an accident. Mercedes used sophiscatied equipment to make sure the lines were correct like lazers and computer alignment...
Funny think is they had all these high end Mercedes' there like AMG's and were commenting on much they like my car, I found that amusing and laughed for a while. Check them out!!!

Thanks. I did check that but there are no listings for Manhattan.

Thanks. I know them as I bought and serviced my Mercedes through them before I got the Audi. Kinda inconveniently located but I will look into it.
