Audi Q5 d-tron Touch Up Paint (8 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi clearly had a specific mood board for the Q5 d-tron, and that mood was "Sophisticated Storm Cloud." We have 8 colors on record for this machine, and let's just say they really leaned into the greyscale. From Magnetgrau and Manhattan Grey to Daytonagrau and Tambora Grey, it's a regular "50 shades of grey" situation in the Audi showroom. If you're feeling bold, you might be rocking the Soneirarot (a deep, moody red) or the Ascariblau, but most of you are likely holding a bottle of Glacier White Tricoat or the timeless Brilliant Black.

What to Watch For

First things first: let's find your identity. Audi hides the paint code in the trunk, usually tucked away in the spare tire well or on the side walls of the cargo area. It's printed on a paper sticker that has a habit of "deciding to leave," so if you still see it, snap a photo before it disappears forever. In terms of wear, Audi's clear coat is famously beautiful but can be a bit on the softer side. You'll likely notice "road rash"-those tiny white peppering chips-on the leading edge of the hood and around the door handles. Don't worry, though; these are just battle scars from the highway, and they're easy to manage at home.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using your touch-up brush or pen, remember that patience is your best friend-especially if you're working with Glacier White Tricoat or any of those metallic greys. These paints have tiny flakes (pearl or mica) that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Give that container a vigorous shake for a full two minutes-yes, time it!-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the applicator to drop a tiny dot of paint into the center of the chip and let it spread out to the edges on its own. It's better to do two thin coats than one big, gloppy mountain that takes three days to dry.
