AUDI car paint

If you have an Audi brand vehicle and wish to have it touched up, you must first have the German car colour codes - in this case, the Audi brand colour codes - in order to be able to buy the bodywork paint  corresponding to your car.

Indeed, without the specific colour code of the paint of your vehicle, assuming your paintwork is original - then it will be practically impossible to carry out the paintjob, unless you know a professional equipped with a device capable of scanning the shade.

Are you looking for Audi paint ? Nearly 200 colour code references are available for your vehicle. With your code, we prepare your Audi base bodywork paint in 1 hour and ship it immediately !
To create bodywork paint, we use a database and recipes that allow us to mix each pigment to the nearest gram.

Be aware that for vehicles less than 15 years old, most paints are of the metallic type, and the version of the paint will necessarily be what is called a 1K basecoat. This means that there is no direct gloss version. Direct glosses are 2K paints, for which there is no need to apply a topcoat.

Audi car color codes

By consulting the plate inscribed in certain areas or locations of the bodywork - for example, inside a door - you can find the precious paint reference which is made up of both letters and numbers to form a code. This code allows international manufacturers to list and classify all colours applied to bodywork of all makes, all models, and all years, for almost 60 years.
This code does not match the code of copies produced by some private paint manufacturers.
It is therefore necessary to know the Audi colour code when speaking to a seller.
It is indeed impossible to determine the paint formula based solely on  the model or the year of the vehicle. The colour code can also take the form of a colour name, which is valid for performing a search in paint manufacturing software.
It is also possible - if this code is not found on the car - to contact a dealer : if he is cooperative, he will help you and give you the information you need.
Once the paint has been ordered, it is possible to apply it yourself using aerosol sprays or with your spray gun, or entrust the project to a bodywork professional.

The history of the AUDI manufacturer

The brand dates back to the year 1909, when its founder August Horch created the automobile production company with the four rings.

He founded Audi Automobilwerke GmbH, which comes from the Spanish word translated as "listen", because he could not use his name, which was already registered and used by an Italian brand. Over the following twenty years, the manufacturer underwent a merger with three other German car brands in order to survive the difficulties. This is the origin of the four rings, which symbolise both the wheels of a vehicle and the four manufacturers, who renamed the company Auto Union. In the 1960s, Volkswagen bought the brand and restored the original name of Audi. With the Audi Quattro, the manufacturer gained its reputation for power and reliability, and rose to the rank of renowned German brands.

Where to find the colour code of your AUDI car ?

For AUDI brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the colour code (vinplate) can be found in two different places :

- in the spare wheel compartment.
- printed (or written on a label) on the car service book.
You can refer to the images provided below which illustrate the location.
The AUDI paint colour code is always composed of Alphanumeric characters (letters or numbers).

The iconic colours of AUDI cars

Since today the Audi brand is owned by Volkswagen, many codes are shared between the two car manufacturers.
Here is an example of colour code :
The code is 004960. The name of the colour is PALMGRUEN and this colour can be found on all models between the years 1955-1976 of the Audi brand.
The formation of colour codes for the Audi brand is highly variable. You may find both three-digit codes, or some codes with six digits, or even including letters and numbers. For example : 0B0B MOON ROCK SILVER.
