RS blue

[brooksy@s2]

Did Audi only produce the RS2 in one colour of blue : RS blue?

[flossymeister]

No.... well, yes in the UK. LHD market also got indigo blue and brilliant blue (though i've never seen the latter). Also, Volcano black has an almost purple/blue hue to it, with the true black being brilliant black.

HTH,

RS blues confuse me too!
I've just collected an RS2 in RS Blue pearl effect, but interestingly, the touch up paint stick that came with it, although invoiced as RS Blue, is labelled Nogaro Blue!
Does anyone know the relevant VAG paint codes?
Cheers

Z5M is the colour code for both RS Blue and Nogaro Blue.
Always seems to be an argument as to which is correct. RS Blue first appeared on the RS2 which was a porsche based colour > (not 100% sure but someone will correct if wrong), then as time went on Audi realised that people liked it and offered it with the name of Nogaro Blue for other models.

RS blue was a unique audi colour at the time with polar silver from porsche. All other colours from standard audi range at time

Only just spotted this response; thanks very much for the info.
Have just checked my touch up paint stick which was invoiced as RS Blue Pearl Effect and find that it is labelled Nogaroblau, code Z5M.
So that clears that up once and for all - Nogaro Blue and RS Blue are one and the same!

Not sure about audi, but a motor factors should be able to. Having said that, I am not sure on the current situation with solvent based paints and retail sale... It is getting pretty hard to find solvent based now

On a side note, I thought that pearl white was LO9A and not O9A as stated above, I assume S2 and RS2 had same colour, mine is deffo LO9A. Incidentally there is a LO9B in the mixing scheme we have, very similar but uses a finer flake.

The colour code on my "Pearl White" RS2 is 09A (C9) as shown in the list. It is a "factoy special order" RHD car & the space for the colour code
on the ID sticker is blank with the colour code hand written. I don't Know if this means it is a different colour mix to L09A, all i can say is when
i park it near any other "Pear White" Audi's (including S2's) it seems to be a lighter shade, slightly more white than the others.

Ahh so its yours! I saw it in Aberdeen once and nearly exploded! It was absolutely yirded! (filthy in non Aberdonian!)

I shall have to look in the scheme to see if O9A is in it...

No alpinweiss option! Audi, how could you

Its Not "filthy" now. It's won several concours awards in the last 6 years i've owned it as several people on here who've seen it at shows will confirm.

[madpugger]

Yeah it would have been about 6 years ago I saw it, just before I got my S2, i loved the filthy look, never been much of a car washer!

I was pondering having ago at my slam panel, bit tatty. If it didn't work out just let a pro do it.
Wouldn't dream of attempting using spray can on exterior
