Audi TTSCoupe Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Audi gave the TTS Coupe a wardrobe that ranges from "stealth fighter" to "visible from space." We've tracked 8 distinct colors for this model, including the iconic Nardo Grey and Daytonagrau for the sophisticated crowd, and the legendary Kyalami Green and Pythongelb for those who want to make sure the neighbors know exactly when they've arrived home. Whether you're rocking Turbo Blue or the deep Tango Red Effect, Audi really went for it with this palette.
What to Watch For
Because the TTS is a low-slung, asphalt-hugging machine, its biggest enemies are highway gravel and road debris. You'll likely find most of your "beauty marks" on the leading edge of the hood or the front bumper. If you're driving a vibrant shade like Tango Red, keep an eye on the roof and trunk lid; those horizontal surfaces catch a lot of sun, and if the clear coat gets thirsty, it can start to lift around deep stone chips.
To find your specific color code, don't look at the door jamb-Audi likes to hide it. Pop the trunk, lift the floor carpet, and look in the spare tire well. You're looking for a paper sticker with a 4-digit code (often starting with 'L', like LY7C). If the sticker is missing, check the inside cover of your original service maintenance booklet.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you are working with Glacier White Tricoat or the "Effect" colors, remember that these are sophisticated, multi-layered finishes. They require patience. Instead of trying to fill a chip in one go, think of it like building a tiny cake: apply one very thin layer of color, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another if needed.
For those bright, solid colors like Turbo Blue or Kyalami Green, the secret is the "Dab, Don't Brush" method. Using a tiny brush or toothpick, just dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. This keeps the repair level with the rest of your beautiful Audi paint without creating a messy blob.
