    The label in my trunk says I need LR7L touch-up paint, but when I purchased it from PatrickAccessories, which sells OEM paint pens, I received LSTR7L which says it is for silver leaf metallic. Anyone know if these are really the same colors? Thanks.

    Not sure on that , but I Know they had a Hard time getting Reflex Silver - which is more
    Common and the Rims are even Hard to Match .

    I ended up getting a Diamond Silver for Audi - which Body shop said all VW Mags were pretty
    much the same color . I tired it on a few small Nics and the Color seemed Off ,but when It Tried it was a Perfect match .

    I also got a Can of Clear Lacquer - which can't had any longer or I just can't seem to find It !
    It looks like VW substituted in a Clear Varnish - which isn't as good as the Clear Lacquer.

    IMO

    I got mine at my VW dealer. They asked for my VIN and then gave me silver leaf metallic. It matches my car perfectly.

    Are you from a foreign country where English is not your Mother tongue?

    Just ordered the touch up paint pen and clear-coat pen from my local VW dealer. $14.50 for both.
    He said it takes about a week to come in. Its called White Leaf Metallic (apparently Audi calls it this)

    Paintscratch.com wanted $40 for both. What a joke.
