Estoril Blue paint

Post by z80 » Sun Mar 23, 2014 2:16 pm

Hi,

I have e new RS6 C7 in Estoril blue.

There's a tiny white dot on the driver's door caused by a stone chip. No other damage. It's tiny.

Bath Audi have told me that the paint company who make the pearlescent colours have gone bust. Estoril blue & a few other colours aren't available anymore.

Anyone know where I can obtain Audi Estoril blue touch up paint?

Thanks,

Greg

Check ur colour code, should be LX5P
Take it to any bodyshop and they can mix some up or order online.

Beware Estoril has matching issues, one of the reasons it has been dropped.

Many thanks indeed. Just bought that from ebay. I'm only going to touch up the size of a pin head so if it's not a super match it won't show.

Great help.

Cheers,

Greg

I found this out too my wife has estoril Blue SQ5 and was advised from the parts guy to try Dingbro in Aberdeen as they will make up individual pots of paint so going to get on this week not that there are any chips on the paintwork yet
pretty poor that Audi can not supply a touch up pen for a colour they supplied
