I am an experienced painter and have to say the Saab prep and painting is as good as most European brands. The fault lies with the EU forcing a switch to water based paint systems from the mid-90s onward. The clearcoat just does not last.....over 10 years and you are in unknown territory.
In my opinion Audi is no different from Saab and probably will suffer identical UV damage.
Having refinished a couple of 9-5s I have to say the paint system is well applied and has industry standard or more thickness specs.
