AUDI Q8

How to choose the right finish for Audi Q8

Black or silver carbon effect

Black carbon effect is dark and technical, silver carbon effect lighter and more visible. Both are printed effects under a clear dome, not carbon fibre, which keeps the pattern consistent on every part. On a busy dashboard, carbon effect on the central parts and piano black elsewhere keeps things balanced.

The wood effects

Walnut Burl and Dark Mahogany warm up a dark interior, Newport Burl and Birdseye Maple bring light to a pale one, Ebony Zebra and African Zebra give a bolder, more graphic look. All are printed wood effects with a glossy, lacquered appearance that suits saloons and estates especially well.

Piano black and metallic

Piano black gives a uniform, elegant surface that suits nearly every interior. Metallic and solid colours let you pick up the body colour inside. Prefer a matt look? Kits ship high-gloss; spray one thin coat of clear matt lacquer before fitting, let it dry, and test on a small part first.

For Audi Q8, start with the parts diagram, then choose between wood effect, carbon effect, brushed aluminium and piano black.
