Morro blue paint problems

[spange1973]

Hi I was wondering if anyone has had problems with Morro blue?

I am thinking about buying a TT in this colour but a colleague of mind had an A3 in this colour and said that if you have greasy fingers, it leaves prints that eat into the paintwork - he couldn't get them out with t-cut.

something to do with a todler crawling on the roof with sticky fingers (not quite sure his nephew was on the roof but I didn't ask lol)

anyone had any problems with morro blue?

Cheers,

..No problems with Morro blue. However, I did know to one car were
finger prints had eaten into the paint work after sun cream had been used.
Needed re-painting.

Moro Blue, or scratchy blue as its known in the trade!!

Scratchy Blue? Hmmm but I guess no worse than black!

Depends if its pearl or metallic. Pearl always scratches more than metallic.

all audis are painted in base/clearcoat so they will all be the same for scratches even the solid colours darker colours always show it worse though

well that was good feedback.

Cheers all, and I will feedback to my friend who told me about his nephew causing the finger print problems and ask if he was wearing sunscreen!

I'm an ex VAG tech, and I seem to remember that there was a workshop action where if a car came in with what looked like flat laquer (no shine) then a heat gun was used to remove the moisture from within the paint. This looked to me like something ate into the paint, and a heat gun on a very low setting removed it. If I remember rightly silver cars were affected most. Mike
