How to Find Your 1972 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.

1972 Audi Background Info

The 1972 Audi Vibe

In 1972, Audi wasn't the sea of "Executive Grey" and "Corporate Silver" you see in the boardroom parking lots today. This was the era of the high-waisted Audi 100 and the birth of the 80 (which we Americans knew as the Fox). It was a year of bold, unapologetic choices. Our database tracks 26 distinct colors for '72, ranging from the "look-at-me" Tibetian Orange and Canary Yellow to the earthy, sophisticated Elm Green. If you're lucky enough to be staring at a 100 Coupe S in Lime Green Metallic, you're looking at the peak of 70s European style-part muscle car, part Bauhaus art project.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Single Stage Era here. Back then, they didn't hide the pigment under a plastic-like clear coat; the color was the protection. But here's the rub: 1972 paint is "thirsty." Without a clear layer to shield it, decades of UV exposure turn colors like Senegal Red or River Blue into a dull, chalky mess. This isn't "fading" in the modern sense-it's oxidation. The paint is literally dying on the surface, turning into a fine powder that rubs off on your microfiber. If your Audi looks like it's been dusted with flour, the paint is screaming for a drink.

Restoration Tip

Since you're working with a single-stage finish, you can't just spray a chip and walk away. You have to "exfoliate" first. Use a light polishing compound to remove that chalky oxidation and find the "live" paint underneath before you apply any touch-up. Once you've repaired the spot, remember the golden rule for 1972 steel: It needs wax or it dies. Without a high-quality carnauba wax or sealant to act as a sacrificial barrier, the atmosphere will start eating your hard work within months. Treat that Jade Green like the vintage soul it is-seal it tight, or the sun will take it back.
