2000 Audi Touch Up Paint (28 OEM Colors)

The 2000 Audi Vibe

Welcome to the year 2000, where Audi was busy redefining the "Bauhaus" look. It was the era of the first-gen TT-a car that looked like a silver bullet-and the B5 S4, the twin-turbo sleeper that could embarrass supercars while hauling groceries. Whether you were rocking an A3, A4, or the flagship A8, the aesthetic was "tech-forward and titanium-tough." We've kept the legend alive with the six colors that defined the turn of the century, from the corporate cool of Light Silver Metallic to the "look at me" brilliance of Imola Yellow and the enthusiast-holy-grail that is Nogaro Blue Pearl.

Paint Health Check

You're living in The Peeling Era. By the year 2000, the factory was getting sophisticated with base-and-clear systems, but they hadn't quite mastered the permanent bond between the two. The clear coat on these Audis is high-quality, but it has one fatal flaw: once it gets a chip, it loses its grip. If your Amulet Red or Brilliant Black roof is starting to look like it has a bad sunburn, that's delamination. The clear isn't just fading; it's literally letting go of the base coat. It starts at a tiny rock chip and, if left alone, will turn into a massive flake that leaves your color coat naked and unprotected.

Restoration Tip

On a 2000 Audi, a stone chip is never "just a chip"-it's a doorway for air and moisture to start lifting the clear coat. To save your factory finish, you need to seal every single nick immediately. If you see the edge of a chip starting to look white or opaque, the clear is already lifting. Lightly sand the very edge of the chip with a fine-grit paper to stabilize the "peel," then apply your touch-up color and a fresh dab of clear. This creates a mechanical bridge that locks the clear coat back down to the metal, stopping the "sunburn" before it eats your whole hood.
