Audi TTS Coupe Touch Up Paint (25 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Audi really went for it with the TTS Coupe, recording a solid 25 colors that range from "Look at Me" to "I'm Stealthy." You've got the loud-and-proud classics like Imola Yellow and Solar Orange, which make the car look like a high-velocity piece of fruit, but they balanced it out with sophisticated tones like Daytona Gray Pearl and Oolong Grey. Whether yours is the electric Sepang Blue or the deep Panther Black Crystal, this car was designed to catch the light-and unfortunately, the occasional flying pebble.

What to Watch For

Because the TTS sits lower to the ground than a caffeinated dachshund, your biggest enemy is the front-end rock chip. Those aerodynamic curves are basically magnets for road debris. If you're driving one of the vibrant reds like Misano Red, keep an eye on the roof rails and wing mirrors; Audi's clear coat can sometimes get a little "separation anxiety" from the plastic trim or aluminum bits if it's spent too much time baking in the sun.

To find your exact match, skip the guessing game and head to the trunk. Lift up the floor carpet and look near the spare tire well. You're looking for a white paper sticker with a bunch of three-digit codes-your paint code will usually start with "L" (like LY7C or LZ9Y). If the sticker has gone missing, check the inside cover of your original service book.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many TTS colors are Pearl or Metallic finishes, your secret weapon is the "sixty-second workout." Before you open that touch-up bottle, shake it for a full minute to wake up those metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom. When applying, don't try to fill a chip in one go. Instead of a heavy "blob," use the tip of your brush to deposit a tiny drop of paint right in the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If it's a deep one, wait 20 minutes and add a second thin layer. This patience ensures the "sparkle" in your Daytona Gray or Sepang Blue stays consistent across the repair.
