Audi A3 car paint over the years
Hitting the roads in 1996, the Audi A3 was introduced as a compact but luxury car. When the first generation was released, the Audi A3 was available in the standard blacks, whites and grey car paint colours. Colours like Y9B Brilliant Black and Y9C Ibis White were safe bets for Audi when they launched the new A3.
The second generation Audi A3 came in 2003. This time, the Audi paint colours were a lot more varied. The A3 was available in Z3M Misano Red, a deep and bold red with a pearl effect that was hardly unnoticeable on the roads. Also available was X5H Navarra Blue Metallic, a shade not far from Royal Blue, it oozed class, sophistication and a touch of electric excitement.
The third generation Audi A3 came along in 2013. One of the notable paint colours available was Z1A Vegas Yellow which gave the A3 a striking and distinctive look. When purchasing the A3 during this time, motorists could also choose Y3J Brilliant Red Audi car paint colour, Y9T Mythos Black Metallic, X5Q Scuba Blue Metallic among other Audi car paint colours.
Presently in 2023, we are on the fourth generation Audi A3, which was released in 2020. The fourth generation A3 in 2020 was available in a series of metallic, pearl and matt colours. Audi paint colours like Y9B Brilliant Black and Y9C Ibis White gave the A3 a professional and contemporary look, while X5Q Scuba Blue Metallic and Z3M Misano Red Pearl Effect offered a more exciting and daring look to Audi A3 buyers.
There are a handful of Audi car paint colours available at present in 2023. If you were to buy an Audi A3 today you could choose a striking and conspicuous Z6A Kyalami Green, a mellow and mild X1X Python Yellow, and old favourites X5H Navarra Blue Metallic and S9R Glacier White Metallic.

Visit our how-to guides for more detail, or check the FAQ page if you have a specific question.
- Clean the area thoroughly. Remove any dirt, wax or debris before you start.
- For deeper chips or scratches showing bare metal, apply primer first and treat any rust before painting.
- Apply the paint in thin coats — the pen tip or brush for chips and scratches, an aerosol for larger areas. Let each coat dry for around 25 minutes before applying the next.
- Once the final colour coat is dry (leave at least 24 hours), apply a lacquer coat for gloss and protection.
- Polish the area to blend the repair into the surrounding paintwork. The PaintNuts Scratch and Scuff Remover works well here. Skip this step for matte finishes.
