Audi SQ7 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Audi didn't hold back on the SQ7, giving us 15 different ways to dress this powerhouse. While they definitely leaned into the classic German "50 Shades of Grey" aesthetic with staples like Daytona Gray Pearl and Florett Silver Metallic, they also threw in a few curveballs for the bold. If you're rocking Turbo Blue or Barrel Brown Metallic, you've clearly decided that blending into traffic isn't your vibe. Whether you have the crisp Ibis White or the deep Mythos Black Metallic, you're working with high-end pigments that deserve a little respect.
What to Watch For
First things first: let's find your ID. Your SQ7 hides its paint code (usually a four-character code like LY9B or LS7Q) in the trunk. Check the spare tire well or the side panels of the rear compartment; it's usually on a white paper sticker that looks like a grocery receipt from the future. As for the paint itself, Audi uses a famously "hard" clear coat. This is great for scratch resistance, but it means when a rock hits that massive front grille at highway speeds, it doesn't just dent-it chips. You'll likely find "peppered" chips on the hood and front bumper. These chips can have sharp edges, so take a second to make sure the area is smooth before you start dabbing.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since many SQ7 colors-especially Glacier White Pearl and Navarra Blue-rely on heavy metallic or pearl flakes, you need to be a human paint mixer. Don't just shake the bottle for five seconds; give it a solid 60-second workout to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, think "less is more." Use a toothpick or the very tip of your brush to fill just the center of the chip. If you're working with a pearl or metallic, remember that these colors require patience; the "depth" of the color comes from the way the light hits those flakes, so two thin, translucent layers will always look better than one thick, muddy blob.
