Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Axalta," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , and their cash flows for the nine months then ended. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements include the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of Axalta at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the related interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 . The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The acquisition ("Acquisition") by Axalta and certain of its indirect subsidiaries of all the capital stock, other equity interests and assets of certain entities which, together with their subsidiaries, comprised the assets and legal entities, which together with their subsidiaries, comprised the DuPont Performance Coatings business ("DPC"), which was formerly owned by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont"), closed on February 1, 2013. In November 2014, we priced our initial public offering (the "Offering", or the "IPO") in which certain selling shareholders affiliated with Carlyle Group L.P. and its affiliates ("Carlyle") sold 57,500,000 common shares at a price of $19.50 per share. In April 2015, we completed a secondary offering (the "Secondary Offering") in which Carlyle sold an aggregate of 46,000,000 common shares at a price of $28.00 per share. In addition, Carlyle sold 20,000,000 common shares in a private placement to an affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (together with the Secondary Offering, the "April 2015 Secondary Offerings") for $28.00 per share. Following these sales, Carlyle ceased to control a majority of our common shares. In August 2015, we completed a secondary offering (together with the IPO and the April 2015 Secondary Offerings, the "Carlyle Offerings") in which Carlyle sold an aggregate of 34,500,000 common shares at a public offering price of $29.75 per share. We did no t receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares in any of the Carlyle Offerings.

Recent Accounting Guidance

Recent Accounting Guidance	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Guidance	RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Further clarifying this standard, ASU 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" was released in August 2015 indicating that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting costs related to revolving debt arrangements as an asset. We elected to early adopt this standard during the current year, resulting in impacts to the balance sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of decreases to Other assets and Long-term borrowings of $71.3 million and $82.1 million , respectively. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11 (Accounting Standard Codification 330), "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which sets forth guidance that inventory should be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 (Accounting Standard Codification 810), "Consolidation," which sets forth guidance on accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Although early adoption is permitted, we are still in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Accounting Standard Codification 606), "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which sets forth the guidance that an entity should use related to revenue recognition. This ASU was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which delayed the effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Companies will be allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. Early adoption is not permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	RESTRUCTURING In accordance with the applicable guidance for Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, we accounted for termination benefits and recognized liabilities when the loss was considered probable that employees were entitled to benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated. We have incurred costs associated with involuntary termination benefits associated with our corporate-related initiatives, including our transition to a standalone entity and cost-saving opportunities associated with our Fit For Growth and Axalta Way initiatives. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recognized a benefit resulting from a change in estimate of $0.7 million and costs of $16.0 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we incurred restructuring costs of $0.9 million and $2.3 million , respectively. These amounts are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. The payments associated with these actions are expected to be completed within 12 months from the balance sheet date. The following table summarizes the activities related to the restructuring reserves and expenses from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015 : Restructuring Rollforward 2015 Activity Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 48.5 Expense Recorded 16.0 Payments Made (28.7 ) Foreign Currency Changes (4.8 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 31.0

No amounts were accrued at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . Other We are subject to various pending lawsuits and other claims including civil, regulatory, and environmental matters. Certain of these lawsuits and other claims may have an impact on us. These litigation matters may involve indemnification obligations by third parties and/or insurance coverage covering all or part of any potential damage awards against DuPont and/or us. All of the above matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits at this time. The potential effects, if any, on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Axalta will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable, and such effects could be material. In addition to the aforementioned matters, we are party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate resolution of these various proceedings cannot be determined at this time, management does not believe that such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Axalta.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recognized $7.9 million and $22.1 million , respectively, in stock-based compensation expense. Included in the $22.1 million of s tock compensation expense recorded d uring the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $8.2 million of stock-based compensation expense attributable to the accelerated vesting of all issued and outstanding stock options issued under the Axalta Coating Systems Bermuda Co., Ltd. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"), as a result of the April 2015 Secondary Offerings which reduced Carlyle's interest in Axalta to below 50% , triggering a liquidity event (the "Liquidity Event") as defined in the 2013 Plan. We recognized a tax benefit on stock-based compensation of $2.8 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we recogni zed $ 2.3 million and $ 6.1 million , respectively, in stock-based compensation expense. We recognized a tax benefit of $0.9 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is primarily allocated to cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Description of Equity Incentive Plans In 2013, Axalta’s Board of Directors approved the 2013 Plan which reserved an aggregate of 19,839,143 common shares of the Company for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The 2013 Plan provided for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards. No further awards may be granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan. In 2014, Axalta's Board of Directors approved the Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the "2014 Plan") which reserved an aggregate 11,830,000 common shares of the Company for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The 2014 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based awards. All awards granted pursuant to the 2014 Plan must be authorized by the Board of Directors of Axalta or a designated committee thereof. Our Board of Directors has generally delegated responsibility for administering the 2014 Plan to our Compensation Committee. The terms of the awards may vary with each grant and are determined by the Compensation Committee within the guidelines of the 2013 and 2014 Plans. Options granted under the 2013 Plan in 2013 and 2014 were assigned a 4.4 to 5 year vesting period; however, vesting was accelerated as a result of the Liquidity Event. In 2013, we granted approximately 16.3 million non-qualified, service-based stock options to certain employees and directors under the 2013 Plan, with strike prices of $5.92 , $8.88 and $11.84 per share. During 2014, we granted approximately 1.6 million non-qualified, service-based stock options to certain employees and directors under the 2013 Plan with strike prices of $5.92 , $7.21 , $8.88 and $11.84 per share. In 2015, we have granted 1.2 million non-qualified, service-based stock options to certain employees and directors under the 2014 Plan with strike prices between $25.34 and $34.80 per share. Options granted vest ratably over three years and have a life of no more than ten years . We also granted 0.9 million shares of restricted stock awards and 0.7 million restricted stock units at fair values between $25.34 and $34.80 . Stock Options The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate fair values of the options as of the date of the grant. The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $8.20 , $1.92 and $1.38 per share, respectively. Principal weighted average assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model were as follows: 2015 Grants 2014 Grants 2013 Grants Expected Term 6.00 years 7.81 years 7.81 years Volatility 22.22 % 28.28 % 28.61 % Dividend Yield — — — Discount Rate 1.79 % 2.21 % 2.13 % For the 2015 grants, the market value of the stock is the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. The market value of the stock for the 2014 grants was estimated using a contemporaneous valuation consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, "Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation." For the 2013 grants, the market value of the stock was based upon the Acquisition transaction since our common shares were not publicly traded at the time of grant and there had been no significant changes in operations since the closing date of the transaction. To estimate the expected stock option term for the $5.92 per share and $7.21 per share tranches of stock options referred to above, we used the simplified method as the options were granted at fair value and we, as a privately held company at the grant dates, had no exercise history. Based upon this simplified method, the $5.92 per share and $7.21 per share stock options had an expected term of 6.5 years. The strike price for the $8.88 per share and $11.84 per share tranches of options exceeded fair value at the grant date which required the use of an estimate of an implicitly longer holding period, resulting in the term of 8.25 years. The expected term assumptions used for the 2015 grants were also determined using the simplified method and resulted in an expected term of 6.0 years . We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, use an expected dividend yield of zero . Volatility for option grants is based upon our peer group due to the limited trading history of our common shares in public markets. The discount rate was derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The exercise price and market value per share amounts presented above were as of the date the stock options were granted. A summary of stock option award activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , is presented below: Awards/Units (millions) Weighted- Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value (millions) Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Outstanding at January 1, 2015 17.1 $ 9.38 Granted 1.2 $ 31.45 Exercised (7.0 ) $ 8.91 Forfeited — $ — Outstanding at September 30, 2015 11.3 $ 12.01 Vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2015 11.3 $ 12.01 $ 158.5 8.05 Exercisable at September 30, 2015 10.1 $ 9.70 $ 158.2 7.86 Cash received by the company upon the exercise of options for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $60.4 million . The expected tax benefits related to the exercises during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are $15.1 million and $54.9 million , respectively. The Company may settle option exercises by issuing new shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market. Compensation cost is recorded net of forfeitures. The forfeiture rate assumption is the estimated annual rate at which unvested awards are expected to be forfeited during the vesting period. Periodically, management will assess whether it is necessary to adjust the estimated rate to reflect changes in actual forfeitures or changes in expectations. At September 30, 2015 , the Company has estimated its annual forfeiture rate at 0% due to its limited history and expectations of forfeitures. At September 30, 2015 , there was $7.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost relating to outstanding unvested stock options expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.6 years. Compensation expense is recognized for the fair values of the stock options over the requisite service period of the awards using the graded-vesting attribution method. Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we issued 1.7 million shares of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units with an average grant price of $32.29 per share. A portion of these awards vest ratably over three years . Other awards granted to certain members of management cliff vest over two and three year periods. A summary of restricted stock and restricted stock unit award activity as of September 30, 2015 is presented below: Awards (millions) Weighted-Average Fair Value Outstanding at January 1, 2015 — $ — Granted 1.7 $ 32.29 Vested — $ — Forfeited — $ — Outstanding at September 30, 2015 1.7 $ 32.29 Compensation cost is recorded net of forfeitures. The forfeiture rate assumption is the estimated annual rate at which unvested awards are expected to be forfeited during the vesting period. Periodically, management will assess whether it is necessary to adjust the estimated rate to reflect changes in actual forfeitures or changes in expectations. At September 30, 2015 , the Company has estimated its annual forfeiture rate at 0% due to its limited history and expectations of forfeitures. At September 30, 2015, there was $43.8 million of unamortized expense relating to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units that is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years . Compensation expense is recognized for the fair values of the awards over the requisite service period of the awards using the graded-vesting attribution method.

These remeasurements of the intercompany transactions were partially offset by the remeasurement of our Euro borrowings. Net exchange losses also include the impacts of remeasurement losses related to the remeasurement of the net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiary at June 30, 2015, as discussed in further detail below. Other miscellaneous expense included a gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulting from the acquisition of an additional 25% interest in an equity method investee for a purchase price of $4.3 million . As a result of the acquisition, we obtained a controlling interest and recognized a gain of $5.4 million on the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest as of the acquisition date. Other miscellaneous expense included a loss of $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulting from the release of an indemnity receivable, which had been recorded in conjunction with our indemnity provisions from the Acquisition. There were also debt related costs recognized for $3.0 million and $6.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, included in other miscellaneous expense. Venezuela Devaluation Based on our participation in Venezuela’s Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD I) auction process during the year ended December 31, 2014, we changed the exchange rate we used to remeasure our Venezuelan subsidiary’s bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars to an exchange rate of 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar at December 31, 2014 from the Official Rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. We determined that the exchange rate of 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar remained the most appropriate rate at March 31, 2015 given that we believed the monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiary would be realized through a dividend utilizing the SICAD I auction process. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government enacted additional changes to its foreign exchange regime. The changes maintain a three-tiered system, including the Official Rate determined by CENCOEX, which remains at 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar, and the SICAD I rate which remained at 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. There was a third market, SICAD II, which has since been eliminated and replaced by a new, alternative currency market, the Marginal Foreign Exchange System ("SIMADI"). SIMADI is intended to provide limited access to a free market rate of exchange. The only way to obtain U.S. dollars through SIMADI is through the supply and demand available within the Venezuelan financial institutions. We believe that significant uncertainty still exists regarding the exchange mechanisms in Venezuela, including how any such mechanisms will operate in the future and the availability of U.S. dollars under each mechanism, including SIMADI. At June 30, 2015, we changed the exchange rate we used to remeasure our Venezuelan bolivars to the SIMADI rate of 197.7 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. We believed it was appropriate to move from using the SICAD I rate to using the SIMADI floating rate at this date based on the culmination of relevant facts and circumstances, including our expectation that future dividend remittances would be made at this rate. As of September 30, 2015, we continue to believe that SIMADI is the appropriate rate to use in the remeasurement of the monetary assets and liabilities our Venezuelan subsidiary. In applying the September 30, 2015 SIMADI exchange rate of 198.5 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar to the bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities of our Venezuelan subsidiary, we recorded exchange gains of $0.6 million and exchange losses of $52.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. Venezuela Financial Results As a result of moving from SICAD I to SIMADI at June 30, 2015 and the associated devaluation of our translation rates, we concluded an impairment indicator existed. In conjunction with the devaluation, we evaluated the carrying value of the long-lived assets of our Venezuelan subsidiary for impairment at June 30, 2015, including $19.7 million of our property plant and equipment, $58.7 million of definite-lived intangibles and $52.6 million of a real estate investment. Based on an analysis of estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of our productive long-lived assets with finite lives, we determined that their carrying values were recoverable at June 30, 2015 based on continued demand and price assumptions of our local operations. The price assumptions include anticipated increases in prices to recover increases in our cost of goods sold as a result of our change to the SIMADI exchange rate at June 30, 2015. These price increases are expected to continue and are intended to allow us to keep pace with the changes in exchange rates and inflation. We believe these price increases are feasible given our market share, customer base and historical success of implementing price increases in similar situations in the past. If our assumptions regarding continued demand and our ability to successfully implement and sustain price increases are inaccurate, there is risk that our productive long-lived assets may be impaired and there would be an unfavorable impact to our results of operations. At September 30, 2015 , we believe that the demand and price assumptions used at June 30, 2015 continue to be reasonable and support our previous conclusions. At June 30, 2015, we separately evaluated the carrying value of our real estate investment as it is not part of our core operational activities. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that the carrying value of the real estate investment of $52.6 million was no longer recoverable as a result of the current real estate market prices and movement of our translation rate from 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar to 197.7 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. We recorded an impairment to write down the carrying value of the asset to its fair value of $22.0 million , which is recorded within other assets. The impairment of $30.6 million was recorded within other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The method used to determine fair value of the real estate investment included using Level 2 inputs in the form of observable market quotes from local real estate broker service firms. At September 30, 2015, no triggering events were identified which resulted in a formal assessment of the fair value of our real estate investment. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our Venezuelan subsidiary had total assets of $140.3 million and $197.8 million , respectively, and total liabilities of $34.0 million and $57.0 million , respectively. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total non-monetary assets, net, were $117.6 million and $149.6 million , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , our Venezuelan operations represented $110.8 million of the Company's consolidated net sales.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per common share excludes the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share includes the effect of potential dilution from the exercise of outstanding stock options and restricted shares. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded in the weighted average number of common shares used for the calculation of earnings (loss) per share in periods of net loss because the effect of such securities would be anti-dilutive. A reconciliation of our basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net income (loss) to common shareholders $ 35.1 $ (19.9 ) $ 55.1 $ 29.6 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 235.9 229.5 232.7 229.2 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 240.9 229.5 239.1 229.3 Earnings (loss) per Common Share: Basic net income (loss) per share $ 0.15 $ (0.09 ) $ 0.24 $ 0.13 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.15 $ (0.09 ) $ 0.23 $ 0.13 The number of anti-dilutive shares that have been excluded in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 1.1 million and 0.6 million , respectively. The number of anti-dilutive shares that have been excluded in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were 17.2 million and 13.4 million , respectively.

("Dutch B B.V."), as "Dutch Borrower", and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Axalta Coating Systems U.S. Holdings Inc. ("Axalta US Holdings"), as "US Borrower", executed the second amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the "Amendment" or the "Refinancing"). The Amendment (i) converted all of the outstanding Dollar Term Loans ( $2,282.8 million ) into a new class of term loans (the "New Dollar Term Loans"), and (ii) converted all of the outstanding Euro Term Loans (€ 397.0 million ) into a new class of term loans (the "New Euro Term Loans" and, together with the New Dollar Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein), the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The New Dollar Term Loans are subject to a floor of 1.00% , plus an applicable rate after the Amendment Effective Date. The applicable rate for such New Dollar Term Loans is 3.00% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement") and 2.00% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable rate for both Eurocurrency Rate Loans as well as Base Rate Loans is subject to a further 25 basis point reduction if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is less than or equal to 4.50 :1.00. The New Euro Term Loans are also subject to a floor of 1.00% , plus an applicable rate after the Amendment Effective Date. The applicable rate for such New Euro Term Loans is 3.25% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans. New Euro Term Loans may not be Base Rate Loans. The applicable rate is subject to a further 25 basis point reduction if the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.50 :1.00. During the third quarter of 2014, our Total Net Leverage Ratio was and has continued to be less than 4.50 :1.00. Consequently, the applicable rates were changed to 2.75% for the New Dollar Term Loans and 3.00% for the New Euro Term Loans through September 30, 2015 . The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of Axalta Coating Systems Dutch A B. V. ("Dutch A B.V.") and the guarantors. The Dollar Term Loan and Euro Term Loan mature on February 1, 2020 and the Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 1, 2018 . Principal is paid quarterly on both the Dollar Term Loan and the Euro Term Loan based on 1% per annum of the original principal amount with the unpaid balance due at maturity. Interest is payable quarterly on both the New Dollar Term Loan and the New Euro Term Loan. Prior to the Amendment, interest on the Dollar Term Loan was subject to a floor of 1.25% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans plus an applicable rate of 3.50% . For Base Rate Loans, the interest was subject to a floor of the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% , the Prime Lending Rate, an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or 2.25% plus an applicable rate of 2.50% . Interest on the Euro Term Loan, a Eurocurrency Loan, was subject to a floor of 1.25% plus an applicable rate of 4.00% . Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a floor of 1.00% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans plus an applicable rate of 3.50% (subject to an additional step-down to 3.25% ). For Base Rate Loans, the interest is subject to a floor of the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% , the Prime Lending Rate, an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or 2.00% plus an applicable rate of 2.50% (subject to an additional step-down to 2.25% ). Under circumstances described in the Credit Agreement, we may increase available revolving or term facility borrowings by up to $400.0 million plus an additional amount subject to the Company not exceeding a maximum first lien leverage ratio described in the Credit Agreement. Any indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part, in minimum amounts, subject to the make-whole provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Such indebtedness is subject to mandatory prepayments amounting to the proceeds of asset sales over $25.0 million annually, proceeds from certain debt issuances not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and 50% (subject to a step-down to 25.0% or 0% if the First Lien Leverage Ratio falls below 4.25 :1.00 or 3.50 :1.00, respectively) of Excess Cash Flow. At September 30, 2014, we voluntarily repaid $100.0 million of the outstanding New Dollar Term Loan. Concurrent with this action, we recorded a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of $3.0 million , consisting of the write-off of $2.2 million and $0.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts, respectively. We are subject to customary negative covenants as well as a financial covenant which is a maximum First Lien Leverage Ratio. This financial covenant is applicable only when greater than 25% of the Revolving Credit Facility (including letters of credit not cash collateralized to at least 103% ) is outstanding at the end of the fiscal quarter. Deferred financing costs of $92.9 million and original issue discounts of $25.7 million were incurred at the inception of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. These amounts are recorded as direct deductions of the associated debt obligations, with the exception of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility, which are classified within Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the associated debt has been undrawn since inception, and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized balances related to deferred financing costs on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were $55.8 million and $65.7 million , respectively. Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $3.4 million and $10.0 million , respectively. Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $ 3.4 million and $10.1 million , respectively, exclusive of the $0.8 million write-off associated with the $100.0 million prepayment on our New Dollar Term Loan. Amortization expense related to original issue discounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $0.9 million and $2.5 million , respectively. Amortization expense related to original issue discounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $0.9 million and $2.6 million , respectively, exclusive of the $2.2 million write-off associated with the $100.0 million prepayment on our New Dollar Term Loan. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $21.0 million and $15.5 million , respectively, which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $379.0 million and $384.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. Senior Notes On February 1, 2013, Dutch B B.V., as "Dutch Issuer", and Axalta US Holdings, as "US Issuer" (collectively the "Issuers") issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "Dollar Senior Notes") and related guarantees thereof. Additionally, the Issuers issued € 250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior secured notes due 2021 (the "Euro Senior Notes" and, together with the Dollar Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes") and related guarantees thereof. Cash fees related to the issuance of the Senior Notes were $33.1 million are recorded as direct deductions of the associated debt obligations, and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the Senior Notes. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the remaining unamortized balances were $22.3 million and $25.3 million , respectively. The expense related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1.0 million and $ 3.0 million , respectively. The expense related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $1.0 million and $3.0 million , respectively. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Dutch A B.V. and certain of the Issuers’ subsidiaries. The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict the ability of the Issuers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt, make certain payments including payment of dividends or repurchase equity interest of the Issuers, make loans or acquisitions or capital contributions and certain investments, incur certain liens, sell assets, merge or consolidate or liquidate other entities, and enter into transactions with affiliates. (i) Euro Senior Notes The Euro Senior Notes were sold at par and are due February 1, 2021 . The Euro Senior Notes bear interest at 5.750% and are payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1. Cash fees related to the issuance of the Euro Senior Notes were $10.2 million are recorded as direct deductions of the associated debt obligations and are amortized into interest expense over the life of the Euro Senior Notes. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the remaining unamortized balances was $6.8 million and $7.7 million , respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We selectively use derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivatives is intended for hedging purposes only and we do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. A description of each type of derivative used to manage risk is included in the following paragraphs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into five interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1,173.0 million to hedge interest rate exposures related to variable rate borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The interest rate swaps are in place until September 29, 2017 . The interest rate swaps qualify and are designated as effective cash flow hedges. The following table presents the location and fair values using Level 2 inputs of derivative instruments that qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Other assets: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 5.9 Total assets $ — $ 5.9 Other liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ 6.0 $ 1.5 Total liabilities $ 6.0 $ 1.5 The following table presents the location and fair values using Level 2 inputs of derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedges included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Other assets: Interest rate cap $ — $ 0.1 Prepaid expenses and other: Foreign currency contracts 1.6 — Total assets $ 1.6 $ 0.1 For derivative instruments that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The following tables set forth the locations and amounts recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 for these cash flow hedges.

We paid a premium of $3.1 million for the interest rate cap. The interest rate cap was not designated as a hedge and the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in current period earnings and are included in interest expense. Fair value gains and losses of derivative contracts, as determined using Level 2 inputs, that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in income as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments under ASC 815 Location of (Gain) Loss Recognized in Income on Derivatives 2015 2014 2015 2014 Foreign currency forward contract Other expense, net $ (4.4 ) $ (0.3 ) $ (6.3 ) $ 1.6 Interest rate cap Interest expense, net 0.1 0.2 — 3.3 $ (4.3 ) $ (0.1 ) $ (6.3 ) $ 4.9

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	SEGMENTS The Company identifies an operating segment as a component: (i) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) that has available discrete financial information. We have two operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Performance Coatings and Transportation Coatings. The CODM reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance for each operating segment. Our CODM is identified as the Chief Executive Officer because he has final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. Our segments are based on the type and concentration of customers served, service requirements, methods of distribution and major product lines. Through our Performance Coatings segment, we provide high-quality liquid and powder coatings solutions to a fragmented and local customer base. We are one of only a few suppliers with the technology to provide precise color matching and highly durable coatings systems. The end-markets within this segment are refinish and industrial. Through our Transportation Coatings segment, we provide advanced coating technologies to OEMs of light and commercial vehicles. These increasingly global customers require a high level of technical support coupled with cost-effective, environmentally responsible coatings systems that can be applied with a high degree of precision, consistency and speed. The end-markets within this segment are light vehicle and commercial vehicle. Our business serves four end-markets globally as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Performance Coatings Refinish $ 426.9 $ 478.1 $ 1,280.2 $ 1,384.4 Industrial 173.7 185.4 516.4 560.2 Total Net sales Performance Coatings 600.6 663.5 1,796.6 1,944.6 Transportation Coatings Light Vehicle 303.7 342.5 984.1 1,045.5 Commercial Vehicle 96.0 102.9 302.9 292.8 Total Net sales Transportation Coatings 399.7 445.4 1,287.0 1,338.3 Total Net sales $ 1,000.3 $ 1,108.9 $ 3,083.6 $ 3,282.9 Asset information is not reviewed or included with our internal management reporting.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Further clarifying this standard, ASU 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" was released in August 2015 indicating that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting costs related to revolving debt arrangements as an asset. We elected to early adopt this standard during the current year, resulting in impacts to the balance sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of decreases to Other assets and Long-term borrowings of $71.3 million and $82.1 million , respectively. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11 (Accounting Standard Codification 330), "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which sets forth guidance that inventory should be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 (Accounting Standard Codification 810), "Consolidation," which sets forth guidance on accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Although early adoption is permitted, we are still in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Accounting Standard Codification 606), "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which sets forth the guidance that an entity should use related to revenue recognition. This ASU was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which delayed the effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Companies will be allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. Early adoption is not permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
