Anyone got an OEM Sprint Blue Touch up Paint / Lacquer kit?

I only ask because when I went to my local Audi parts depot with my chassis number they advised me there is no touch up kit for Sprint Blue because it is not common enough a colour! I needed the lacquer so ended up with a meteor grey one insted for the lacquer as it couldn't be sold seperately.

If I wanted paint I would have to buy a can of it. I didn't ask what size because by that point I was appalled. So as per the title, does anyone have sprint blue touch up pen plus lacquer pen and am I being told porky pies?

porky pies mate

I got one of each of the above sitting on my shelf in the garage - with the famous four rings on each bottle.

P_G - I've been using Stafford Audi on ebay for all my touch up sticks for the past few years - They got a Misano set to me in about three days in May.

In 2008 I had to buy the Sprint Blue spray can for my car then as no stick was available.
It seems to be prone to chipping from what I can work out ...

Cheers everyone, I'll go to TPS and see what they can come up with. Typical bollocks from Colebrook & Burgess / Newcastle Audi parts dept.

I had to buy a spray can a couple of weeks ago. You cannot buy a touch up in Sprint Blue from an Audi dealer. I have been told this by more than one dealer.
