How to Find Your 1980 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.

1980 Audi Background Info

The 1980 Audi Vibe

1980 was the year Audi decided to stop being the "other" German car and started acting like a tech-heavy powerhouse. It was the era of the boxy 4000 and the spaceship-like 5000, and Audi leaned hard into a palette of 12 colors that felt as precision-engineered as their Quattro systems. We've got the survivors here, from the unapologetic Mars Red to the "I-own-a-VCR" sophistication of Mexico Beige and Merion Brown. Whether your ride is draped in Helios Blue Metallic or the moody Onyx Green Metallic, these cars were built to look like high-end stereo equipment on wheels. It was a time of transition-leaving the muddy earth tones of the 70s behind for the crisp, metallic futurism of the 80s.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Single Stage Era. If you're looking at a solid color like Alpine White or Monaco Blue, you don't have a clear coat-you just have a thick slab of pigment mixed with resin. While that sounds "heavy duty," it means your paint is constantly fighting a losing battle against the sun. The main enemy here is Oxidation. If your Mars Red is starting to look like a dusty "Mars Pink," that's the paint literally drying out and turning to chalk. The metallics like Copper Metallic or Dolomite Gray Metallic might have an early integrated clear, but they're just as prone to getting that hazy, "ghostly" look when the top layer of the film begins to fail.

Restoration Tip

The silver lining of 1980s paint is that it's surprisingly resilient if you actually put in the work. Unlike modern cars where the paint is paper-thin, you can often buff a 1980 Audi back to its former glory. But listen close: It needs wax or it dies. If your finish has gone chalky, you need to gently polish away that dead, oxidized layer to reveal the fresh color hiding underneath. Once you see that Diamond Silver Metallic sparkle again, don't walk away. You have to seal it immediately with a high-quality wax to lock out the oxygen. You're essentially acting as the clear coat that the factory didn't give you. Keep it sealed, or you'll be staring at a chalkboard by next summer.
