Audi SQ5 Touch Up Paint (39 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi didn't just give us a color palette for the SQ5; they gave us a personality profile. With 39 recorded colors, they've mastered the art of the "corporate-cool" aesthetic. You have the legendary Daytona Gray Pearl and Nardo Gray leading a literal army of greys (seriously, from Manhattan to Chronos, they've covered every shade of a London afternoon). But then, someone in the design department had a double espresso and gave us Turbo Blue, District Green Pearl, and Volcano Red. Whether you're driving a "stealth bomber" or a "tropical juice box," your SQ5 has a finish that deserves a little driveway respect.

What to Watch For

Here's the deal: Audi paint is generally high-quality and "hard," but the SQ5 has a big, proud front end that acts like a catcher's mitt for highway gravel. You're going to find most of your battle scars on the leading edge of the hood and around that massive grille. Also, keep an eye on the door handles and the roof rails; some owners have noted that the clear coat can be a bit sensitive to UV if it isn't kept clean. To find your specific color code, skip the door jamb-Audi usually hides the "Vehicle Data Sticker" in the trunk. Look under the floor mat near the spare tire well or tucked into the side compartment panels. It'll be a 4-digit code like LY9T (Mythos Black) or LZ7C (Daytona Gray).

Driveway Repair Tip

Because Audi loves their Pearl and Crystal effects (looking at you, Panther Black), your touch-up bottle is actually a tiny snow globe of metallic flakes. If you don't shake that bottle for a full two minutes, those sparkles will stay at the bottom, and your repair will look like a flat matte smudge. When you're ready to apply, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it "flow" to the edges. Think of it like icing a very expensive cupcake-light layers are your best friend, and patience is the only tool you really need.
