This is my Dad's old car which he had for 11 years and his local Audi dealer offered him £100 for in part ex.... I've rescued it and am setting about tidying it up. I need to order a touch up paint stick for a few chips and scratches but i'm not sure on the official name of the colour or the paint code... Can anyone help?

I've done a Google search and I wonder if it might be 'santorin blue' ?

Oh, and yes before a comedian turns up i already know it is blue!

There should be a sticker in the boot (under carpets, near spare wheel) that has the paint code on it. If you have the original books, it's probably on the inside cover of the service history.

It will probably look like this on the sticker - LZ5B\LZ5B. In that example, the code is "LZ5B".

Looks like Azure blue to me.

Dad had it on his 2.8q with Vanilla leather. Fantastic looking car.

Thanks, I have all the books other than the stamped service history annoyingly (although I do have all service invoices which is arguably better!), I think I saw the sticker you refer to recently when hoovering the boot out - I will take a look later. Thanks again.

I had a 2.4 in this colour, Azure blue rings a bell.
