Audi R8 Side Blade Touch Up Paint (7 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi didn't just give the R8 side blades a splash of paint; they gave them a personality. We've recorded 7 distinct colors for these iconic panels. Whether you're rocking the loud and proud Brilliant Red, the sophisticated Mugello Blue Pearl, or exploring the "shades of professional" with Ice Silver Metallic and Apollo Silver Metallic, Audi really went for it. They even threw in Saddle Brown Pearl for the drivers who want their supercar to feel a bit more like a high-end library.

What to Watch For

Because of where those side blades sit, they are essentially high-speed vacuums for road debris. They are the frontline defense against every pebble on the highway, making rock chips your most likely enemy. To find your specific color code, you'll need to play hide-and-seek: head to the trunk/spare tire area and look for a paper data sticker. Be warned-these blades often have a different paint code than the rest of the car, so don't just assume they match the doors. If you see some slight fading on the edges, it's usually just the clear coat getting tired from all that wind resistance, but it's nothing a little patience can't fix.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these Audi colors (like Lava Gray Pearl Effect) are loaded with metallic and pearl flakes, your first step is a workout: shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds. Those tiny sparkles love to settle at the bottom, and you want them on your car, not in the jar. When applying, forget about "painting" a line. Instead, use the tip of your applicator to dot the paint into the chip. Think of it like filling a tiny crater. Two thin "dots" with 15 minutes of drying time between them will always look better than one giant, gloopy blob.
