Audi Quattro Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Audi Quattro didn't just change the rally world; it did it in style with 15 recorded colors that prove Audi really went for it in the '80s. While you'll see plenty of the classic Alpine White, they also leaned into the era's vibe with bold choices like the rare Port Rose Metallic and the deep Amazon Blue Metallic. Whether yours is dressed in the iconic Tornado Red or the sophisticated Zermatt Silver Metallic, these colors were designed to look fast even when the car was parked in a driveway.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that touch-up cap, you need to find your "Birth Certificate"-the paint code. On a Quattro, this is usually a paper sticker hiding in the trunk, often tucked inside the spare tire well or on the rear cross-member. If your car is Tornado Red, you might notice it looking a bit more like "Pink Grapefruit" in the sun; this color loves to oxidize, so the touch-up might look darker than the rest of your car at first-it just requires patience to get the depth right. Also, keep an eye on the metallics like Sapphire or Stone Gray; the clear top layer on these older Audis can sometimes get brittle and start to lift around the wheel arches or door handles.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of the many metallics-like Lhasa Green or Calahari Beige-your biggest job happens before the brush even touches the car. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds (time it!) to wake up those sparkles so they don't all come out in the first glob. When applying, think of it like building a Lego set: use thin, tiny layers rather than one giant drop. If the chip is deep, let the first layer dry for 20 minutes before adding the next. This keeps the repair flush with the rest of the panel without creating a "speed bump" of paint.
