Default A3 Color Code question

Hello,
I have a lot of chips on the hood and bumper and I am debating whether i should try fix them myself or take the car in somewhere like. drcolorchip.com has very good reviews.

But before I have been trying to confirm the color of my A3. According to the sticker in the spare wheel well it should be a LX5X, a light blue. On some paint chip stores that color varies from site to site, it doesnt look anything like my color. Not to mention that if I go by year and model none of the web sites that I checked gave me this color code. I am puzzled.

Doers anybody own this car and bought touch up paint from PaintRef.com - Automotive Truck Fleet Paint Color Code Cross Reference or Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup or Dr. ColorChip Automotive Paint Chip Repair Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems ? Is it the right color?

I tried VIN Decoder - AudiWorld Forums to confirm my code but i cant get farther than Summary page.

any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.

Felix

I tried Drcolorchip on one of my other car, the match is not perfect,but it's better then seeing white dots.
