2020 Audi Touch Up Paint (51 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Audi Vibe

Welcome to 2020, the year where everyone stayed home while Audi stayed busy reinventing the color wheel. If you were rolling in a Q8, an e-Tron, or the last of the legendary R8s, you weren't just driving; you were making a statement. We've got a massive 51 colors in our database for this year, and let's be honest, Audi was the undisputed king of the "Is it gray or is it a mood?" era. From the cult-classic Nardo Gray to the "look-at-me" Kyalami Green and Dragon Orange Metallic, they gave us enough variety to make a rainbow look lazy. It was a sophisticated time for German engineering, where even a Q3 could look like it belonged on a runway in District Green Pearl.

Paint Health Check

Now, here's the cold, hard truth from behind the spray gun: we are firmly in the Thin Paint Era. Back in the day, we used to measure paint thickness with a ruler; now, these robots at the factory are so efficient they're practically applying the color with a light breeze. Your 2020 Audi has a high-tech clear coat that's harder than a diamond, but it's also thinner than a politician's promise. Because the factory keeps the layers so lean, those beautiful finishes like Mythos Black or Navarra Blue are absolute magnets for rock chips. If a pebble even thinks about hitting your A4, it's probably going to leave a mark. It's not a lack of quality-it's just precision engineering meeting the reality of the highway.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing those inevitable craters, remember my golden rule: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Since this factory paint is applied with surgical efficiency, a giant drop of touch-up paint is going to look like a mountain on a pancake. Use a fine-tip applicator and apply the color in thin, patient passes. Let it sit, let it shrink, and then go again. You want to mimic that tight, factory-sprayed look, not leave a souvenir of the repair. If you're working with a high-flake color like Daytona Gray Pearl, less is always more to keep those metallics from clumping up and looking dark.
