Using the method known as overspray-free painting, Audi is now able to apply two different colors in the same painting process. The new technique is being adopted for the first time for the “edition one” limited-edition models of the A4 Sedan and A5 Coupé, which were updated in 2019. The customer has the option of choosing a roof in brilliant black. Audi is the first car manufacturer to adopt this environmentally friendly technique in series production.
Until now, two-color paint finishes have inevitably involved two painting processes with masking-off beforehand. Overspray-free painting technology revolutionizes this time-consuming and material-intensive process. Audi works with Dürr, who supplies the application technology.
