Repairing paint damage

~1min read

Minor paint damage, such as cracks, scratches, and chips caused by stones, should be touched up as soon as possible, before rust forms. For this purpose, Audi vehicles are equipped with special touch-up paint sets in the matching color.

If the damaged areas have already started to rust, first remove the rust, then apply anti-corrosion primer, and only after that apply paint.

The original paint code (factory paint) is listed in the section "Vehicle Identification Numbers".
