Audi TTCoupe Touch Up Paint (21 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi didn't hold back with the TT Coupe, recording a whopping 21 colors that range from the bold Vegas Yellow and Turbo Blue to what I like to call "The German Rainbow"-otherwise known as fifty shades of grey. With names like Nardo Grey, Nano Gray, and Chronos Grey Metallic, it's clear they really went for it in the pigment department. Whether you're rocking a classic Brilliant Black or the high-impact Kyalami Green, this car was designed to be noticed, even if it's currently wearing a few "battle scars" from the highway.

What to Watch For

Before you get to work, you need to find your "birth certificate"-the paint code. On the TT, Audi likes to hide this in the trunk. Lift the floor carpet and check the spare wheel well or the foam inserts; you're looking for a white paper sticker with a four-character code (something like LY7C). Now, for the reality check: these cars have a known habit of showing their age on the roof rails and the front wheel arches. Because the roof rails are aluminum, you might see some bubbling there, and the front arches love to trap road salt and moisture where they meet the side sills. If you see a little "lifting" near the spoiler or door bottoms, don't worry-it's a common TT quirk that a little patience can handle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Audi shades are packed with metallic flakes or pearl effects (looking at you, Daytonagrau and Navarra Blue), you need to be an active participant in the mixing process. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-and I mean "maraca solo" 60 seconds-to wake up those tiny sparkles that have settled at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: one thin, light layer is your friend. If you try to fill a chip with one big glob, it'll look like a mountain on a flat plain. Let the first layer dry, then add another until it's flush. Your TT will thank you for the steady hand.
