Touch Up Paint, availability

Post by s4tokyo » Wed Feb 13, 2019 2:42 pm

Have searched Forum re above Subject and did not find thread or postings, so to make a small inquiry - have any owners got their hands on Sonoma Green Touch Up Paint?

Though not a need 'now', I like to have body color Touch Up available for that rainy day.
I'm being told by Dealer that as it's a new color arriving on B9 - I don't think it was offered as Exclusive previously right? - so this color is not (yet) in stock. True, not true?

TIA.

I've had Audi cars where there were no touch up paints - the solution is to go to a car body repair Shop that have a 'mixing scheme' and have them colour match your car and mix some paint for you. It won't be cheap - probably around 14,500 JPY for a 1 litre tin.

Not sure if this is of any good in Japan, but I managed to get some Nardo from Chipex https://www.chipex.co.uk/how-to-find-your-colour-code/

My previous was Prism silver and no touch up available, but it was a 'Crystal' colour and allegedly difficult to reproduce in touch up form, though I felt it was more about the cost of producing touch up for limited/special colours. I've got loads of Nardo in my garage if anyone wants some, brim full with primer for my metal gate posts and other bits.

Appreciate the various feedback above. It's just that I had Daytona Gray before this, and Ibis White before that ...in both cases I was able to receive 'Audi original' Touch Up Paint. Not so far w.r.t. Sonoma Green:-(

Edit : I did find non-original Touch Up source. Not the LATEST models, but for anyone with Nardo Gray, these guys can provide ; https://touchupdirect.com/touch-up-paint/audi/rs5/
