Audi Q8 Etron Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi clearly spent some time in the "Executive Suite" when picking the palette for the Q8 E-tron. We have 9 recorded colors, and while it might seem like they're playing "50 Shades of Grey" with options like Manhattan Grey, Chronos Grey Metallic, and the legendary Daytonagrau, they definitely threw in some spice for the bold. If you aren't driving a sophisticated neutral, you're likely rocking the deep Soneirarot red or the electrifying Ultra Blue Pearl. It's a lineup that says, "I'm an adult, but I still know how to have a good time."

What to Watch For

To find your specific color code, you'll need to do a little detective work in the back. Open the trunk and lift the floor panel; you're looking for a white paper "Vehicle Data Sticker" that's usually tucked near the spare tire well or the battery compartment. Look for a 4-digit code (like LY9B or LS9R). One thing to keep in mind: because the Q8 E-tron has such a smooth, aerodynamic face, it's a bit of a magnet for road debris. The modern clear coat Audi uses is stunningly glossy but can be a bit "polite" (soft), so you might notice small chips appearing on the hood or around those sleek door handles. Don't worry-it's nothing you can't handle with a steady hand.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using your touch-up pen on those fancy finishes like Glacier White Tricoat or Madeirabraun, remember that the "magic" is in the metallic flakes. These flakes are heavy and like to nap at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your paint pen for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up that sparkle. When you go to apply it, don't try to "fill the hole" in one go. Use the tip of the brush to place a tiny dot of paint in the center of the chip and let it spread itself out. Getting a perfect match requires patience, so do two thin layers rather than one big glob.
