Audi Glacier White Metallic LS9R: Paint Code & Touch Up Paint Guide

Audi Glacier White Metallic is a bright metallic white commonly associated with paint code LS9R. Because it uses metallic effect particles, correct application matters more than with a simple solid white.

What is Audi paint code LS9R?

LS9R is widely used for Audi Glacier White Metallic. Always verify the code for your own vehicle because Audi has offered several white finishes that can look very similar at first glance.

Is Glacier White metallic?

Yes. Glacier White Metallic contains effect particles that change how the paint reflects light. The shade can look warmer, cooler or brighter depending on lighting and viewing angle.

Glacier White vs solid white

A solid white has no metallic effect. Glacier White has visible metallic content, particularly in strong daylight. This means a generic white touch-up product is not a suitable substitute.

Our clear lacquer guide explains this stage.

Why can LS9R look different after application?
