Audi Q4 Etron Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi clearly spent some time in the "Moody Weather" section of the dictionary for this one. With 10 recorded colors, they leaned heavily into the "50 shades of grey" aesthetic with Typhoon Grey Metallic, Manhattan Grey, and Moonstone Gray. But don't let the corporate palette fool you-they really went for it with Auroraviolett and Stonewashed Blue. Whether your car is "Boardroom Chic" or "Weekend Rebel," there is a lot of depth in these factory finishes.

What to Watch For

The Q4 e-tron is a tech marvel, but its paint is famously "polite"-meaning the clear coat is a bit soft and susceptible to road debris. You'll likely notice the most wear-and-tear in the form of tiny rock chips on the flat surface of the hood and the blunt front bumper. Before you start, you need your code, and Audi hid it well: skip the driver's door and head straight for the trunk. Lift the floor mat and look near the spare tire well or the rear compartment panel for a white paper sticker. You're looking for a 4-digit code like LY9T or LS9R.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these Audi colors are metallic or tricoats (looking at you, Glacier White), you need to shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds. Those tiny metallic flakes are heavy and like to nap at the bottom of the bottle; if you don't wake them up, your repair will look too dark. When you apply the paint, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much better to do two thin, patient layers than one giant, gloopy blob that looks like a grape stuck to your hood.
