How to Find Your 1996 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.

1996 Audi Background Info

The 1996 Audi Vibe

Welcome to 1996-the year Audi decided to stop playing second fiddle to the other Germans and dropped the A4 on a world that wasn't ready for that much galvanized steel. Whether you were rocking an A6 or the legendary Cabriolet, the vibe was "Vorsprung durch Technik" wrapped in a suit of armor. While the rest of the mid-90s was drowning in hunter green and champagne metallic, we've focused our efforts on the one true survivor: Brilliant Black. It was the color of choice for the executive who wanted to look fast even while sitting in a boardroom meeting.

Paint Health Check

Here's the deal: Audi was way ahead of the curve with their fully galvanized bodies, meaning your '96 is probably the only thing from that era that hasn't turned into a pile of iron oxide. But while the metal is bulletproof, the paint is stuck right in the middle of The Peeling Era. By '96, they were using a two-stage system where a thin layer of color is protected by a high-gloss clear coat. The problem? That clear coat has spent nearly thirty years fighting UV rays. If your roof or trunk looks like it's "sunburned" or has white, flaky patches, you're looking at delamination. Once that clear starts lifting, it's a race against time.

Restoration Tip

If you still have original paint, your biggest enemy isn't rust-it's the "edge lift." When you get a stone chip on a 1996 Audi, moisture gets trapped between the base color and the clear coat, causing the clear to separate and peel back like a bad sticker. Seal your chips immediately. Don't wait for the weekend. Dab your color into the chip and ensure you overlap the edges slightly to "glue" that clear coat back down to the body. It's the difference between a quick touch-up and having to respray an entire hood because the clear decided to walk off.
