Audi RS6 Touch Up Paint (28 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi clearly decided that "Classy German Stealth" was the vibe for the RS6, recording a whopping 28 colors that mostly lean into the "50 Shades of Gray" aesthetic. From the cult-classic Nardo Gray and the sparkly Daytona Gray Pearl to the moody Sebring Black Pearl, this car is a masterclass in monochrome. However, they did let the designers have a little fun with pops of Tango Red and the electrifying Turbo Blue. Whether yours is "Business Professional" or "Look At Me," there is a lot of sophisticated pigment packed into those wide body panels.

What to Watch For

The RS6 is a bit of a "wide-body" athlete, which means those beautifully flared rear wheel arches are essentially giant targets for road gravel. You'll likely find most of your battle scars there or on the low-slung hood. Audi's clear coat is famously "soft," meaning it picks up light scratches easily, but the good news is that it's very forgiving for DIYers. Before you start, hunt down your paint code-it's not on the door like most cars. You'll need to pop the trunk and lift the floor carpet; look for a white paper sticker near the spare tire well. It'll be a 4-digit code (like LY7C or LZ7S).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many RS6 colors are Pearls or Metallics (looking at you, Navarra Blue), the "secret sauce" is in the shake. These paints have tiny flakes of mica or metal that settle at the bottom of the bottle; if you don't shake that touch-up pen for a full 60 to 90 seconds, you'll end up with a flat color that doesn't match the shimmer of the rest of the car. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Drop a tiny dot of paint into the center of the chip, let it dry for 20 minutes, and repeat. Building it up in "baby steps" requires patience, but it ensures the paint stays put and looks smooth once it dries.
