Scratches & scrapes

Hi folks.

I'm just about ready to do a full valet on my S8, but I need to do some repair work on an arch scrape (through to metal I think), some scratches to the boot, a crack in the paint on the rear bumper and a small dent in the passenger door above the handle.

So first of all, how do I go about finding out what colour my car is? It's silver, but I'll need to be more exact to get touch-up paint I think.

What primer/paint/lacquer is advisable with the S8's metalwork?

Does anyone have a link to a good how-to for this kind of repair (especially with regards to the S8's aluminium)?

Many thanks - I might do a bit of a before & after with pics I reckon wink.gif

Chances are its aluminium silver Y7M IIRC, but you can see from the sticker on the inside of the spare wheel well. Oh and there's a sticky posted by the one and only Sven above this post 169144-ok.gif

Have we crossed paths in West London at any point?
