About this colour

Argus Brown, paint code LY8S

LY8S Argus Brown for the Audi A8

If the label on your Audi reads LY8S, the factory colour is Argus Brown, a metallic pearl brown, used from 2013 to 2019.

See where Audi puts the paint label

On labels and in workshop systems you may also find it as Argusbraun or as W3 and W3W3. Other Audi models in LY8S: Q8 (2017–2019), A4 (2015–2019), A5 (2015–2019) and Q7 (2015–2019).

This finish combines metallic flake and pearl. Work in thin coats, stroke scratches in one direction with the brush and let each coat dry before the next. Dark shades show every ridge: build the chip up until it is level, then polish once the paint has cured.

We mix LY8S Argus Brown to order and ship it within 24 hours with free tracked delivery. Choose Basic for the pen with needle and brush, Standard for pen and polish paste, or Complete for pen, polish paste, microfibre cloth and glove.

Is this an exact colour match?

Yes. It is mixed to your official colour code, and every order is mixed by hand to order.

If your car's paint is older or faded, the result can vary slightly with age, sun exposure and surface condition.

What kind of damage is this best for?

It is best for small chips, scratches and scuffs.

Deeper damage down to bare metal or plastic may need extra preparation, such as primer or filler, for the cleanest result.

How do I use it, and do I need clear coat?

For most small repairs, apply the paint in thin coats and let each coat dry properly.

Clear coat is usually not needed for small chips and scratches when the paint is applied carefully.

For the best result, do not wash the repaired area for 24–48 hours.
