Steve123 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I’ve lost, or someone nicked it, the little plastic cover to the drivers door handle keyhole. I’ve now obtained a replacement but it needs respraying. The advert for the car when I bought it said it was painted in “ James red “, but I’ve always thought that this was a weird name for a car paint so was unsure about it. Internet enquiries had elicited the fact that the paint is called either “ Misano Pearl “ or “ Misanorot Pearl “ . Both of these reds appear in numerous internet sources so it is not a misspelling. I can’t check the paint code on the car since my local main dealer has taken it for a recall lasting a week. Does anyone have any idea what was behind Audis thinking on these paint names ?

Magnet Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hello Steve, You really need the correct paint code for the car, rather than relying on paint names. You should be able to obtain the code by requesting a build record via. the VIN. Any dealer should be able to provide that for you. Getting a good match:- aerosols sometimes (regularly?) result in off shades, so be prepared. Pearls often need a specified coloured primer to get nearer to the end results you hope for. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
