Audi RS7 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Audi's paint department for the RS7 must be staffed by people who *really* love the color gray-they gave us 43 options, including Nardo Gray, Daytona Gray, and Suzuka Grey. It's essentially "50 Shades of Teutonic Power." But they didn't stop at the stealth-wealth look; they threw in some absolute showstoppers like the electric Sepang Blue Metallic and the "look-at-me" Misano Red. Whether you're driving a stealth bomber or a rolling fire engine, Audi made sure the finish matches the horsepower.
What to Watch For
Because the RS7 sits lower than a limbo dancer, its biggest enemy isn't other cars-it's the road itself. You're likely going to find "road rash" (tiny rock chips) peppering your aggressive front bumper and those wide, flared wheel arches. Audi's clear coat is famously high-quality but can be a bit "soft," meaning it picks up light surface marks easily. To find your specific color code, you'll need to go on a bit of a treasure hunt: head to the trunk and look for a paper sticker near the spare tire well or tucked under the floor mat. Look for a code that usually starts with "L" (like LY9B or LY7C).
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're working with one of Audi's famous pearls or metallics-like Mythos Black or Daytona Gray-your most important tool is the "The Shaker." Those tiny metallic flakes settle at the bottom of your touch-up bottle faster than a dropped key. Shake that bottle for at least two full minutes to wake up those sparkles. When you're ready to apply, remember that less is more. Dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It requires patience to build up the color in thin layers rather than one big "blob," but that's how you keep your RS7 looking like a million bucks.
