How to Find Your Audi S5's Color Code

Audi paint color codes are printed on a paper color id tag, often found around the spare tire area; some Audis also have a metal plate on the driver door jamb. The paper tag can fall off and disappear over time, leaving codes unavailable. Codes can include two parts, e.g., LY9H and P1; LY9H often corresponds to Polar White Clearcoat, and P1 can be used for the same white on some models. Older Audi models can be hard to identify by code; custom matching may be required.

The Color Breakdown

Audi didn't hold back with the S5, giving us a massive library of 50 recorded colors. It's a bit like a high-end suit shop-you have the "Business Gray" collection featuring Daytona Gray Pearl, Manhattan Gray, and Nardo Gray, but then they threw in some "Weekend Warrior" shades like Turbo Blue, District Green, and the legendary Nogaro Blue Pearl. Whether your S5 looks like a stealth bomber or a tropical bird, they really went for it with the depth of these finishes.

What to Watch For

Before you get started, you need to find your "social security number" for paint. On the S5, your paint code is usually hiding in the trunk. Pull up the floor carpet and look near the spare tire well for a white paper sticker; you're looking for a 4-digit code that usually starts with the letter "L" (like LY9B or LX7W).

In the real world, the S5 sits low to the ground, which makes the front bumper and the leading edge of the hood a total magnet for "road rash" (those tiny white rock chips). Also, Audi clear coats are beautiful but can be sensitive to environmental bullies-keep an eye out for "etching" from tree sap or bird droppings. If you see a dull spot where a bird left a gift, that's your sign to act before the clear coat decides to check out early.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many S5 colors are "Pearl" or "Metallic" (looking at you, Glacier White and Navarra Blue), your touch-up bottle is basically a snow globe of tiny sparkles. Shake that bottle for at least 60 full seconds-no, really, time it-to wake up those metallic flakes so they don't all sit at the bottom.

When filling a chip, don't try to be a hero and fill the whole hole in one go. Apply a thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. If your kit came with a clear coat pen, that's your secret weapon for matching that signature Audi gloss. Just remember: three thin layers will always look better than one giant "blob" that stands out like a sore thumb.
