Audi RS paint protection film, multi-stage paint correction, and Frozen-paint protection programs. RS6 Avant, RS7, RS3, RS5, R8, and e-tron GT — the cars that overlap heavily with our Porsche book through the VAG cross-shop.

THE PROGRAM
01

The Audi RS program — high-mileage commute, high-finish standard.

An RS6 Avant on the I-405 commute logs more miles in a year than most exotics see in five — and the daily exposure to gravel, road salt, and brake dust shows up on the paint surface faster than collector-cars even notice. The Audi RS program at PACMods is built around that reality: full-body XPEL Ultimate Plus for daily Eastside commuters, multi-stage paint correction before any film goes on, and ceramic overlay to keep the finish wash-resistant across the high-mileage cycle.

02

Daytona Grey, Nardo Grey, Florett Silver — paint code notes.

Audi’s most-popular RS colours — Daytona Grey, Nardo Grey, Florett Silver, Mythos Black, Tango Red, Misano Red — show surface defects in characteristically different ways. Daytona Grey hides swirl in the depth of the metallic; Nardo Grey shows every defect under direct light because of its low-saturation flatness; Florett Silver runs hot under the polish and requires careful pad-and-compound discipline. We document the colour at intake and select correction stages accordingly. Audi exclusive paint codes and Avant-bodied custom colours get the same treatment with the build reference attached.

03

R8 PPF and the rear-mid-engine considerations.

The R8 chassis runs a different PPF program than the rest of the Audi family — full-body coverage with attention to the carbon side blades, mid-mount engine intake film, and the rear-quarter zones that see the most stone-strike exposure. We treat the R8 as a Porsche-adjacent build (it shares the chassis architecture) and apply our Porsche GT-car PPF discipline. A thicker top-coat is preferred on R8 trims that see track time.

04

e-tron GT and the VAG EV crossover.

The e-tron GT is a Taycan in different bodywork — same VAG platform, same EV-specific PPF and ceramic considerations (charge-port film, door-jamb attention, accelerated brake-dust accumulation from one-pedal driving). Most of our e-tron GT clients also own or have owned a Porsche Taycan; the program is identical in approach with Audi-specific paint code references applied.

FAQ

Common questions. On Audi.

Q/01Do you do PPF on RS6 Avant wagon body lines?
Yes — the RS6 Avant is one of the more-frequent Audi platforms in our bay. Full-body coverage is the default given the high-mileage Eastside commute profile and the rear-quarter and rocker exposure inherent to the wagon body. Edge-wrap discipline matters more on a wagon than a sedan; we wrap every panel transition through the rear hatch and around the C-pillar.
Q/02Color match on Audi exclusive paint codes?
Yes — spectrophotometer-matched against the factory paint code or the Audi exclusive build reference. We document the colour code at intake; if the vehicle was repainted out of factory spec we colour-match to the current surface, not the build sheet.
Q/03R8 PPF program?
Yes — full-body XPEL Ultimate Plus is the default on every R8 we wrap, with track-package extensions on cars that see Pacific Raceway. The mid-engine intake side blades and the carbon panels get specific attention; we treat the R8 as a Porsche-adjacent build given the shared chassis architecture.
Q/04How long does paint protection film last?
Professionally installed Ultrafit paint protection film carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, and delamination. In Pacific Northwest conditions, the film typically performs well past the warranty window if washed correctly and not exposed to chemical contamination.
Q/05How much does PPF cost in Seattle?
Full-body PPF on a luxury or exotic vehicle at PACMods starts at the upper end of the Seattle market because we work exclusively with concours-grade Ultrafit film and back every install with a 10-year warranty. Partial coverage (front-end, track package, or high-impact areas) starts lower. Request a private estimate for a vehicle-specific quote.
Q/06What paint protection film do you install?
PACMods installs Ultrafit — a top-tier self-healing paint protection film with a 10-year warranty. It is optically clear, hydrophobic, and swirl-resistant; we select the coverage tier and finish (gloss or matte) per vehicle and intended use, from daily-driven streets to dedicated track time.
Q/07How do I pay, and do you take a deposit?
We accept credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments. Payment is due on completion, before the vehicle leaves, unless the written quote says otherwise. A deposit may be required where the build needs parts we order in and those parts come to more than $500 — it covers the order, and it is set out on the written quote before any work starts. We do not bill insurance carriers, so the number on your written quote is the number you pay.
Q/08Do you work with insurance companies?
PACMods is an independent shop by intention and does not work with insurance carriers. We perform cosmetic and collision repair on a direct-pay basis for owners who want concours-quality work without the carrier-driven shortcuts that compromise luxury vehicles. We can help you understand what an insurance reimbursement might cover, but the work itself is between you and us.
