Dan32 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 No one ever seems to know the correct code but that might have changed. Hang on for a bit and RS32 might chime in with some interesting info.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs32 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 need to confirm that the same colour paint is used on the MkV as the MkIV. If it is then go to your nearest VAG parts dept and order their "Surf Blue" paint. This seems to be an Audi and VW colour - I think it was for the A4 and also VW did the Polo in this colour. Note that I'm not suggesting that this is the exact factory paint for the OEM calipers - but from my recent brakes effort it was the best match we could find.

rs32 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 hi UKLooney - there's no issue with heat AFAIK, lots of coats of paint properly baked and given a week to dry, on top of the RS6 standard finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
