Where to find Audi color code

How to Find Your 1961 Audi's Color Code

Audi paint color codes are printed on a paper color id tag, often found around the spare tire area; some Audis also have a metal plate on the driver door jamb. The paper tag can fall off and disappear over time, leaving codes unavailable. Codes can include two parts, e.g., LY9H and P1; LY9H often corresponds to Polar White Clearcoat, and P1 can be used for the same white on some models. Older Audi models can be hard to identify by code; custom matching may be required.

1961 Audi Background Info

The 1961 Audi Vibe

In 1961, the "four rings" were still finding their footing under the Auto Union and DKW banners, rolling out charming machines like the 1000S and the DKW Junior. It was a time of rounded fenders and two-stroke smoke, where your car's personality was dictated by a palette of muted, sophisticated tones. We've focused on the survivors of this era-the colors that defined the early 60s European aesthetic. Whether it's the deep, regal Brunswick Blue, the soft earthiness of Mango Green, or the timeless Pearl White, these pigments weren't just paint; they were a statement of post-war optimism and German engineering.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Single Stage Era. Back in '61, your Audi didn't have the luxury of a plastic-like clear coat to hide behind. This is honest, thick paint that's mixed with the gloss right in the can. The problem? It's porous. Without a protective top layer, the sun and oxygen have been having a field day for sixty-plus years. You'll know yours is struggling if the finish looks "chalky" or has a dull, white haze over the Dove Blue or Pale Green. That's called oxidation-it's literally the top layer of paint dying and turning to dust. If you don't keep it sealed, the moisture will march straight through to the metal, and that's when the real trouble starts.

Restoration Tip

If your 1961 classic is looking more like a chalkboard than a show car, don't just reach for the spray gun yet. Because this is single-stage paint, you can often "bring it back" by removing that dead oxidized layer. Use a gentle rubbing compound or a dedicated paint cleaner to buff away the chalky surface until the rich, original pigment shines through again. But here is the Salty Painter's golden rule: It needs wax or it dies. Once you've exposed that fresh paint, it's vulnerable. You must seal it with a high-quality carnauba wax or a sealant to lock out the oxygen. Think of it like moisturizing old leather-keep it fed and covered, and it'll stay beautiful for another sixty years.
