Default Has anyone ever found gray bumper touch up paint that matches?

The stuff that Paintscratch.com sell does not match. The color is lighter and it does not dry to a matte finish. It's really not even close.

My Audi dealer could never find it. They did get the Alpaka Beige, however.

Thanks

Default I doubt it exists (m)

the paint on the bumper is applied in many layers and along with other compounds that create the matte finish and elasticity.

I'd be inmpressed if they could make a one-step product that matches.

Default True, but remember that being touch-up paint, it only has to match in

color, not elasticity. Matte paint should'nt be hard to match.

Default Try www.autovisuals.com, they have the

best touch up paint I have found. Did not check if they had the bumper paint.
