Touch-up paint
Minor paint damages should be touched up
immediately.
11-
Use either a touch-up paint stick or spray
paint to cover minor scratches and nicks.
Your authorized Audi dealer has touch-up
paint for minor scratches and stone chips.
Scratches should be touched up soon after
they occur to prevent corrosion.
If a spot starts to rust, however, a simple
touch-up job w ill not be enough. The affected
surface must be sanded smooth and coated
with an anti-rust pr imer before the painted
f inish can be restored.
The number for the original vehicle paint can
be found on the vehicle ident ificat ion label
