Audi TT Roadster Touch Up Paint (25 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi clearly couldn't decide if the TT Roadster was a serious German track machine or a coastal cruiser, so they gave us 25 colors to cover both vibes. We have the "Executive Suite" collection with Daytona Gray Pearl, Monsoon Gray Metallic, and Oolong Grey (yes, named after the tea). But then, they really went for it with "Look at Me" shades like Vegas Yellow, Samoa Orange Pearl, and the legendary Sepang Blue Metallic. Whether your car is dressed for a board meeting or a beach party, it's a lot of personality for one little convertible.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need your "secret recipe" code. Head to the trunk, lift up the floor carpet, and look for a white paper sticker near the spare tire or the battery. It'll be a four-digit code (like LY7C or LS3H). If the sticker has vanished, check the inside cover of your maintenance booklet.

A quick reality check: because the TT sits so low to the ground, that sloping hood is a magnet for stone chips. Also, if you're rocking Misano Red or Brilliant Red, keep an eye on your mirror caps and the top edges of the doors; these "high-oxide" reds are famous for getting a little grumpy under direct sunlight, which can lead to the clear coat getting brittle and wanting to depart the vehicle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Audi colors (like Phantom Black or Glacier White) are Pearl or Metallic finishes, your biggest job is "waking up the sparkles." These tiny flakes of metal and pearl like to take a nap at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-and I mean actually time it.

When you're ready to apply, don't use the "nail polish" brush that comes in the cap for tiny chips; it's too big and will leave a blob. Instead, grab a wooden toothpick. Dab a tiny bit of paint onto the tip of the toothpick and just "drop" the color into the center of the chip. The paint will naturally flow to the edges. If the chip is deep, give it twenty minutes and do it again. It requires a little patience, but building up thin layers looks much better than one big "mountain" of paint!
