Audi Q7 Touch Up Paint (65 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

With a staggering 65 recorded colors, the Audi Q7 has lived through every trend in the automotive book. Audi clearly didn't just choose a palette; they chose a legacy. You'll find everything from the legendary Nardo Gray-the flat grey that launched a thousand imitations-to the executive shimmer of Samurai Gray Metallic. They even leaned into the "fun side of luxury" with Tango Red and the deep, mysterious Galaxy Blue. Whether your Q7 is dressed in "50 shades of grey" or a bold pearl effect, it's a car that was built to look expensive, even when it's covered in road salt.

What to Watch For

Before you get started, you need to find your "Birth Certificate"-the paint code. On a Q7, this is usually hiding in the trunk. Lift the rear floor panel and look near the spare tire well for a white paper sticker covered in three-digit "PR-codes." Your paint code is typically a 4-character string like LY9B or LX7W.

In terms of wear, the Q7 is a giant target for stone chips. Because of that massive front grille and wide wheel arches, the paint takes a beating from road debris. Keep a close eye on the rear wheel arches and the area around the door handles; if a chip goes ignored, moisture can sneak in and cause the paint to lift or bubble. If you see a small flake starting, it's time to intervene before it decides to invite its friends.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Audi colors (like Daytona Gray or Glacier White) use pearl and metallic effects, your bottle of touch-up paint is basically a snow globe. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up the metallic flakes so they don't all settle at the bottom.

When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop a massive "blob" of paint into the chip, it will dry like a volcano. Instead, use a "thinly-veiled" approach. Apply a tiny amount, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another layer. Building the paint up slowly ensures it stays level with the rest of the panel and keeps that German precision looking sharp.
