Audi TTS Coupe/Roadster Touch Up Paint (25 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi didn't hold back with the TTS, recording a total of 25 colors that range from "strictly business" to "look at me." They really went for it with high-impact shades like the electric Vegas Yellow and Pulse Orange, while keeping the purists happy with five different shades of gray, including the legendary Nardo Gray and Daytona Gray Pearl. Whether you're driving a deep Sepang Blue or a crisp Ibis White, your car was designed to catch the light-and unfortunately, the occasional flying pebble.

What to Watch For

The paint on the TTS is beautiful, but it's known for being a bit "soft," meaning the nose and hood are prone to tiny stone chips from spirited highway driving. If you're rocking one of the vibrant reds like Tango Red or Catalunya Red, keep a close eye on the clear coat around the side mirrors and door handles; these areas can be sensitive to UV exposure over time. To get started, you'll need your specific paint code. You won't find it on the door jamb-Audi hides it in the trunk. Lift the floor carpet and look for a white paper sticker near the spare tire well or battery. You're looking for a four-digit code, usually starting with "L" (like LY9C for Ibis White).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many TTS colors are "Pearl" or "Metallic" effects (like Glacier White or Mythos Black), the secret is in the shake. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or jar for a full 60 seconds to "wake up" the sparkles before applying. When you're filling a chip, don't try to paint it like a wall. Instead, use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny dot of paint into the center of the chip and let it spread out to the edges on its own. If the color looks a little different at first, don't worry-it just requires patience as it dries and levels out to match the factory finish.
