How to Find Your Audi S8'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 just give the S8 a paint job; they gave it a wardrobe. With 51 recorded colors, they really went for it. You'll find everything from the sophisticated Irish Green Pearl and Expresso Brown Pearl to the "loud and proud" Turbo Blue. Of course, this is a German executive sedan, so there are also plenty of sophisticated silvers and blacks-it's like "50 Shades of Grey" but with much higher horsepower. Whether you're rocking Oolong Grey Pearl or Sevilla Red, your S8 was designed to look like a million bucks, even if it currently has a five-dollar chip on the hood.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that touch-up cap, you need to find your "Service Identification Label." On the S8, this is usually a white paper sticker tucked away in the spare tire well or printed on the inside cover of your maintenance booklet. Look for a 4-digit code like "LY9C" or "LX7W."

The S8 is a high-speed cruiser, which means the front bumper and hood tend to collect "road peppering" (tiny rock chips) like a magnet. You might also notice small bubbles forming near the door handles or chrome trim; because the S8 uses a lot of aluminum in its body, the paint can sometimes get a little grumpy at the edges where different materials meet. Don't panic-it's nothing you can't handle with a steady hand.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many S8 colors are "Pearl" or "Metallic" effects, they contain tiny flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-not ten seconds-to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount of paint into the chip rather than painting over it. If you're working with a deep pearl color, it requires patience to get the depth just right. Apply one thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then decide if it needs a second dab. Building it up slowly is the secret to making that chip disappear.
