S-Line Sport 21" Titanium wheel color code?

[Dtomasi]

I've been searching but couldn't find what the Audi paint code is for the 21" titanium color S-Line wheels. I need to do some touch up on on one of the wheels but don't know if the paint code is ly7p or 8au?

[bigoltater]

Wow I was searching this as well, I need to touch mine up too!

[Dtomasi]

I just bought the ly7P touch up paint and I'll report back on the color match once I get a chance to touch up the wheels. Hopefully I chose the right color...

Please let me know, I've only had my Q7 for a week and I've already had 2 Homer Simpson moments

Let me know how it went, my wife just jumped a curb today

[Dtomasi]

Ok so I got the ly7p touch up paint kit for the wheels and the color is very very close. the tone and hue are dead on but the shade is just a hair darker than the factory titanium paint. I think if the wheels are properly filled and sanded on the damaged areas to where it's completely smooth then I don't think it would be all that noticeable unless you get really close to the areas that have been touched up. Overall I think it looks pretty good but again if you get really close you can tell there's a slight difference in color. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HTS75CW this is the touch up paint kit that I use for the wheels. When you first apply the touch up paint on the wheels don't freak out because the color is going to be way off, it almost looks like a purple or bluish color when the paint is wet as the paint dries it blends in with the existing titanium paint on the wheels.

my wife curbed one and i curbed the other... the dealer used graphite grey matte to repair mine.

LM7W/9Q

[Dtomasi]

Now that looks dead on. I think I'm going to have to pick up some and redo the areas on my wheels.Man, where were you a couple months ago...could have saved me 40 bucks? Lol

[iconoclast]

i don't frequent this forum as much as i used to...
full disclosure... the dealer did the entire wheel on both wheels... not a patch/spot-spray.

[bigoltater]

So where can I buy this graphite gray matte?

Why not just call the dealer and ask what they'd use?

[bigoltater]

The dealer here in bend Oregon is pretty much useless, I've called and ordered touch up for my S4 3 TIMES!!!! The past month, and it never comes and nobody ever calls me back.

Iconoclast you are the hero we all need.

[iconoclast]

[sickspeed]

what wheels do you have there, oem 21s or 22" reps? offsets?

[iconoclast]

Me? They are OEM 21" S-Line Wheels. Factory offset however I have spacers installed. 18mm Front & 23mm Rear.

[sickspeed]

what about the split 7 spoke RS4 style wheels above?

[iconoclast]

not mine... phil from detailer's domain did his own set and very pleased:

[sickspeed]

those appear to also be oem 21s, no? i ask because i am trying to decide on which offset to get in 22" reps.

[jable145]

I am running a set of RS4 Reps 22x10 +55mm. Looked good before I got my coilovers. Now that I am lower I am going to be doing spacers. Prob 20mm back and 10mm front.

[sickspeed]

exactly. im already lowered and have spacers on the stock wheels but i am pretty sure the et25 reps will be best but might rub if im not careful.

[iconoclast]

those appear to also be oem 21s, no? i ask because i am trying to decide on which offset to get in 22" reps.

my apologies. i misunderstood. i thought you were asking about how oem 21" rs4 style wheels would look in titanium.

What gloss level are you using in the clear coat? They don't look like full gloss, maybe a 75% gloss?

[S-Fore]

I did the Hartman 20" reps on my wife's and went et25. Perfect fitment.

those appear to also be oem 21s, no? i ask because i am trying to decide on which offset to get in 22" reps.

the oem titanium finish is not glossy at all. it is a matte finish.

[Audi-rs4]

Hey so what’s the difference between L8AU and the LM7W? Don’t know which one to get since they look so close

[Kenny147]

If you want an OEM finish, one of the RS4 owners used LY7P with a matte flattener added to the clear coat at a ratio of 60/40, flattener to clear.
