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, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , 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, 2016 . 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 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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The Acquisition The acquisition ("Acquisition") by Axalta and certain of its indirect subsidiaries, formed at the direction of an affiliate of The Carlyle Group L.P. ("Carlyle"), of all the capital stock, other equity interests and assets of certain entities which, together with their subsidiaries, comprised the DuPont Performance Coatings business ("DPC"), formerly owned by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont"), closed on February 1, 2013. Venezuela Deconsolidation During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we deconsolidated our Venezuelan subsidiary from our consolidated financial statements and began accounting for our investment in our 100% owned Venezuelan subsidiary using the cost method of accounting. See Note 21 for additional information. Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted At December 31, 2016, we elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash", which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements herein have been retroactively adjusted. There was no change in net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. At December 31, 2016, we elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09, "Stock Compensation", which provides various areas of simplification surrounding the accounting for stock-based compensation and resulted in retrospective changes to our previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements. The new standard resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes. Upon adoption, this resulted in a cumulative effect of an accounting change reclassification of $43.9 million to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on the balance sheet as of January 1, 2016, as reflected in Note 19. It also resulted in a decrease to the tax provision and corresponding increase to net income of $6.4 million and $10.8 million for the previously reported condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The effect on our dilutive shares is disclosed in Note 11. We retrospectively applied the changes in presentation to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and no longer classify excess tax benefits or employee taxes paid for shares withheld as financing activities, which increased net cash provided by operating activities and decreased net cash used in financing activities by $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Correction of Immaterial Errors to Prior Period Financial Statements During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company identified and corrected errors that affected previously-issued consolidated and condensed financial statements. Based on an analysis of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“ASC 250”), Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 - Materiality (“SAB 99”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 - Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”), the Company determined that these corrections were immaterial to the previously-issued financial statements. However, given the significance of the cumulative adjustments on the financial results, we have revised, and will revise annual and interim periods in future filings, our historical presentation of certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements which are described further below. Revenue Corrections The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products to its customers when risk of loss and ownership of the product transfers to the customer. Ownership transfers either upon shipment of the product or when the product is delivered. In regards to Axalta’s refinish end-market, risk of loss passes upon the sale to its distribution customers. Subsequent to the sale to distribution customers, when the distribution customers sell the products to collision repair body shops, additional rebates or further pricing concessions can be given to our distribution customers and certain collision repair body shops. The Company previously recorded these additional rebates and pricing concessions at the time of sale from the distributor to the collision repair body shops. The Company has concluded those rebates and pricing concessions should have been estimated and recorded as a reduction to net sales upon the sale to our distribution customers. The Company concluded that its accounting policy for the sale to distributors is appropriate as the sales price is fixed or determinable at the time ownership transfers to these distributors, based on the Company’s ability to make a reasonable estimate of future certain pricing or rebates concessions at the time of shipment. The Company has corrected the errors in the timing of revenue recognition by estimating those additional rebates and pricing concessions at the time of sale to distribution customers and reducing net sales by $2.8 million ( $2.3 million after tax) and $2.7 million ( $2.3 million after tax) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company will also revise historical annual periods by reducing net sales by $4.7 million ( $3.0 million after tax), $3.3 million ( $2.1 million after tax), $5.1 million ( $3.1 million after tax) and $4.2 million ( $2.8 million after tax) for the periods ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was reduced by $0.01 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The after-tax impacts noted above had the equivalent impacts on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the respective periods. The cumulative impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 resulted in increases of $22.4 million , $3.1 million , $8.3 million and $11.0 million to other accrued liabilities, goodwill, other assets and accumulated deficit, respectively, as a result of these prior period corrections. Amounts had no impact on the Company’s total cash flows from operations as reported within the historical condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Recent Accounting Guidance

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Guidance	RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits", which requires that an employer report the service cost component of net periodic pension costs in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires the other components of net periodic pension cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of working with our actuarial specialists in assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment", which eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test requiring an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests conducted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements unless an impairment indicator is identified in our reporting units. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases", which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases (both finance and operating) on the balance sheet. In addition to this main provision, this standard included a number of additional changes to lease accounting. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. At a minimum, total assets and total liabilities will increase in the period of adoption. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which sets forth the accounting guidance applicable for revenue recognition. This standard was initially intended to be 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 previous effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies were allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. Early adoption is not permitted prior to the original effective date. We continue to progress in the quantification of the impacts that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and have refined certain estimates that will be used in order to calculate such impacts, although the final impact remains unknown. We will provide further detail as we progress in our quantification, as well as our determination of the transition method to be adopted. We have reviewed our sales contracts and practices as compared to the new guidance and continue to make progress in our implementation plan as well as our assessment of procedural and policy requirements related to the provisions of this standard. In addition to the expanded disclosures regarding revenue, this guidance will result in the acceleration of revenue recognition in certain arrangements primarily within our Transportation Coatings segment in which we determine effective control over inventory has transferred to the customer upon delivery as compared to consumption under historical consignment arrangements. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing", which provides clarification around identifying performance obligations and the treatment of different licensing contracts. Additional standards related to revenue from contracts with customers have been issued during 2016 to provide narrow scope improvements and clarification. We have continued to assess the potential impact of the revised guidance on our financial statements. In addition to the expanded disclosures regarding revenue, this guidance may impact our accounting and reporting for certain arrangements, including the periods in which we recognize revenue and the potential recording of contract assets for the sale of our products or services. To conclude on these matters, we are involving leadership within our various organizations with specific knowledge of the arrangements to understand the legal, operational and financial matters.

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of The Valspar Corporation's North American Industrial Wood Business On June 1, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition from The Valspar Corporation ("Valspar") of certain assets constituting its North American Industrial Wood Coatings business (the "Industrial Wood" business), for a purchase price of $420.0 million , subject to preliminary working capital adjustments of $10.5 million (the "Industrial Wood Acquisition"). The Industrial Wood Acquisition was funded through the refinancing of our Dollar Term Loans discussed further at Note 15. The Industrial Wood business is one of the leading providers of coatings for original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and aftermarket industrial wood markets, including building products, cabinets, flooring and furniture, in North America. The Industrial Wood Acquisition was recorded as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. At September 30, 2017 , we have not finalized the purchase accounting related to the Industrial Wood Acquisition and these amounts represent preliminary values. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified up to one year from the date of the acquisition as more information is obtained about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After preliminary working capital adjustments, the Company paid an aggregate purchase price of $430.5 million , which was comprised of the following: June 1, 2017 (As Initially Reported) Measurement Period Adjustments June 1, 2017 (As Adjusted) Accounts and notes receivable—trade $ 23.3 $ 0.1 $ 23.4 Inventories 24.9 (0.2 ) 24.7 Prepaid expenses and other 0.2 — 0.2 Property, plant and equipment 23.0 — 23.0 Identifiable intangibles 254.2 3.9 258.1 Accounts payable (22.4 ) 0.2 (22.2 ) Other accrued liabilities (5.1 ) (0.2 ) (5.3 ) Net assets acquired before goodwill on acquisition 298.1 3.8 301.9 Goodwill on acquisition 132.6 (4.0 ) 128.6 Net assets acquired $ 430.7 $ (0.2 ) $ 430.5 Goodwill was recognized as the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets recognized. The goodwill is primarily attributed to our assembled workforce and the anticipated future economic benefits and is recorded within our industrial end-market in our Performance Coatings segment. The goodwill recognized at September 30, 2017 that is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes is $128.6 million . The Company incurred and expensed acquisition-related transaction costs of the Industrial Wood Acquisition of $5.3 million , included within selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The fair value associated with definite-lived intangible assets was $258.1 million , comprised of $34.5 million in technology, $8.1 million in trademarks, $202.0 million in customer relationships and $13.5 million in favorable contracts. The definite-lived intangible assets will be amortized over an average term of approximately 19 years. Supplemental Pro Forma Information The Company's net sales and income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include sales of $86.7 million in net sales and a loss of $1.7 million to income before income taxes related to the Industrial Wood business. The following supplemental pro forma information represents the results of operations as if the Company had acquired Industrial Wood on January 1, 2016: For the nine months ended (in millions, except per share data) September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 Net sales $ 3,289.4 $ 3,205.9 Net income $ 108.8 $ 78.4 Net income attributable to controlling interests $ 103.7 $ 74.7 Net income per share (Basic) $ 0.43 $ 0.31 Net income per share (Diluted) $ 0.42 $ 0.31 The 2017 supplemental pro forma net income was adjusted to exclude $5.3 million ( $3.3 million , net of pro forma income tax impact) of acquisition-related costs incurred in 2017 and $2.3 million ( $1.4 million , net of pro forma income tax impact) of non-recurring expense related to the fair market value adjustment to acquisition date inventory. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated information does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2016, nor is it meant to be indicative of future results of operations of the combined companies under the ownership and operation of the Company. Other Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we acquired 100% of six businesses ("2017 Acquisitions"), including the acquisition of Industrial Wood. The other five acquisitions included two North American and three European businesses which have operations in both our refinish and industrial end-markets, within our Performance Coatings segment. All of these acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and the overall impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements were not considered to be material, either individually or in the aggregate. The fair value associated with definite-lived intangible assets from the 2017 Acquisitions was $315.6 million , comprised of $46.8 million in technology, $18.4 million in trademarks, $234.8 million in customer relationships and $15.6 million in other intangibles primarily consisting of favorable contracts. The total fair value of consideration paid or payable on the 2017 Acquisitions was $565.0 million , including acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration of $5.7 million , respectively. At September 30, 2017 , we have not finalized the purchase accounting related to the 2017 Acquisitions and these amounts represent preliminary values. For our business acquisitions completed after September 30, 2016, including the 2017 Acquisitions, we expect to finalize our purchase accounting during the respective measurement periods, which will be no later than one year following their applicable closing dates.

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 it was considered probable that employees were entitled to termination benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated. We have incurred costs in connection 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, 2017 , we incurred restructuring costs of $6.2 million and $7.6 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we incurred restructuring costs of $15.6 million and $21.2 million , respectively. These amounts are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The payments associated with these actions are expected to be substantially completed within 12 to 15 months from the balance sheet date. The following table summarizes the activities related to the restructuring reserves and expenses from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 : 2017 Activity Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 66.1 Expense recorded 7.6 Payments made (24.2 ) Foreign currency impacts 6.2 Venezuela deconsolidation impact (1.5 ) Balance at September 30, 2017 $ 54.2 Restructuring charges incurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 included actions to reduce operational costs through activities to rationalize our manufacturing footprint.

Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we determined that a previous build-to-suit lease arrangement was to be treated as a sale-leaseback financing. The lessor's building costs will be depreciated over an estimated useful life, consistent with our other sale-leaseback financing identified during the year ended December 31, 2016, beginning at the commencement of the rental terms, at which point such lease assets recorded in property, plant and equipment had a corresponding offset within long-term borrowings. The table below reflects the total remaining cash payments related to both transactions during the rental term as of September 30, 2017: Sale-leaseback obligations Remainder of 2017 $ 1.3 2018 5.4 2019 5.5 2020 5.6 2021 5.6 Thereafter 91.9 Total minimum payments $ 115.3 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 against us, or awards against DuPont for which we assumed the liabilities through the Acquisition. 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.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES Our effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 Effective Tax Rate 17.2 % 22.5 % The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to forecasted mix of earnings in jurisdictions where the statutory rate is lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate as compared to September 30, 2016. The pre-tax charge of $70.9 million related to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary for 2017, which is non-deductible, was largely offset by the prior year impact of pre-tax losses on debt extinguishment and other financing-related costs incurred in connection with the refinancing activities and voluntary prepayments where a tax benefit for a portion of the losses were not expected to be realized. These adjustments were partially offset by the favorable impact of the benefits associated with current year excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation of $11.6 million compared to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to various items that impacted the effective rate both favorably and unfavorably. We recorded favorable adjustments for earnings in jurisdictions where the statutory rate is lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate and current year excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. These adjustments were offset by the unfavorable impact of the Venezuelan deconsolidation charge, pre-tax losses attributable to jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be realized, non-deductible expenses and interest and currency exchange losses.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share	NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income 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 per common share includes the effect of potential dilution from the hypothetical exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted shares and performance shares. A reconciliation of our basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2017 2016 (1) 2017 2016 (1) Net income (loss) to common shareholders $ 54.9 $ (6.6 ) $ 98.2 $ 76.0 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 240.7 238.5 240.5 237.8 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 245.8 238.5 246.2 244.2 Net income (loss) per common share: Basic net income (loss) per share $ 0.23 $ (0.03 ) $ 0.41 $ 0.32 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.22 $ (0.03 ) $ 0.40 $ 0.31 (1) Net income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is inclusive of effects of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, discussed further at Note 1, which increased diluted weighted average shares outstanding by 1.8 million shares. Based on the fact that diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding in periods of loss, there was no impact of this adoption on diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The number of anti-dilutive shares that have been excluded in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 1.9 million and 1.8 million , respectively. The number of anti-dilutive shares that have been excluded in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 13.0 million and 1.4 million , respectively.

("Dutch B B.V."), as "Dutch Borrower", and its indirect 100% owned subsidiary, Axalta Coating Systems U.S. Holdings Inc. ("Axalta US Holdings"), as "U.S. Borrower", executed the second amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"). The Second Amendment (i) converted all of the outstanding Dollar Term Loans ( $2,282.8 million ) into a new class of term loans (the "2020 Dollar Term Loans"), and (ii) converted all of the outstanding Euro Term Loans ( €397.0 million ) into a new class of term loans (the "2020 Euro Term Loans" and, together with the 2020 Dollar Term Loans, the "2020 Term Loans"). On December 15, 2016 (the "Fourth Amendment Effective Date"), Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment"). The Fourth Amendment (i) converted all of the outstanding 2020 Dollar Term Loans ( $1,775.3 million ) into a new tranche of term loans issued at par with principal of $1,545.0 million (the "2023 Dollar Term Loans"), (ii) converted all of the outstanding 2020 Euro Term Loans ( €199.0 million ) into a new tranche of term loans issued at par with principal of €400.0 million (the "2023 Euro Term Loans" and, together with the 2023 Dollar Term Loans, the "2023 Term Loans"). On June 1, 2017 (the "Fifth Amendment Effective Date"), Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment"). The Fifth Amendment converted all of the outstanding 2023 Dollar Term Loans ( $1,541.1 million ) into a new tranche of term loans with principal of $2,000.0 million (the "2024 Dollar Term Loans"), together with the 2023 Euro Term Loans, the "Current Terms Loans", and with the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The 2024 Dollar Term Loans were issued at 99.875% of par, or a $2.5 million discount. Interest was and is payable quarterly on both the 2023 Term Loans and Current Term Loans. The 2024 Dollar Term Loans are subject to a floor of zero plus an applicable rate of 2.00% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement") and 1.00% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement. Prior to the Fifth Amendment, interest on the 2023 Dollar Term Loans was subject to a floor of 0.75% , plus an applicable rate after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date. The applicable rate for such 2023 Dollar Term Loans was 2.50% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement and 1.50% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement. The 2023 Euro Term Loans are also subject to a floor of 0.75% , plus an applicable rate after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date. The applicable rate for such New Euro Term Loans is 2.25% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The 2023 Euro Term Loans may not be Base Rate Loans. Prior to the Fourth Amendment, interest on the 2020 Dollar Term Loans was subject to a floor of 1.00% , plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate for such 2020 Dollar Term Loans was 3.00% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 2.00% per annum for Base Rate Loans. The 2020 Euro Term Loans were also subject to a floor of 1.00% , plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate for such 2020 Euro Term Loans was 3.25% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The 2020 Euro Term Loans were not to be Base Rate Loans. The applicable rate for both Eurocurrency Rate Loans as well as Base Rate Loans was subject to a further 25 basis point reduction if the Total Net Leverage Ratio was less than or equal to 4.50 :1.00. During the third quarter of 2014, our Total Net Leverage Ratio was less than 4.50 :1.00. Consequently, the applicable rates were changed to 2.75% for the 2020 Dollar Term Loans and 3.00% for the 2020 Euro Term Loans through the Fourth Amendment Effective Date. Any indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part, in minimum amounts, subject to the provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Such indebtedness is subject to mandatory prepayments amounting to the proceeds of asset sales over $75.0 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. 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 2023 Euro Term Loans mature on February 1, 2023 and the 2024 Dollar Term Loans mature on June 1, 2024. Principal is paid quarterly on both the 2023 Euro Term Loans and the 2024 Dollar Term Loans based on 1% per annum of the original principal amount outstanding on the most recent amendment date with the unpaid balance due at maturity. We are subject to customary negative covenants in addition to the First Lien Leverage Ratio financial covenant for purposes of determining any Excess Cash Flow mandatory payment. Further, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, among other things, include customary restrictions (subject to certain exceptions) on the Company's ability to incur certain indebtedness, grant certain liens, make certain investments, declare or pay certain dividends, or repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Revolving Credit Facility On August 1, 2016 (the "Third Amendment Effective Date"), Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment impacted the revolving credit facility under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the "Revolving Credit Facility") by (i) extending the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to five years from the Third Amendment Effective Date, or August 1, 2021, provided that such date will be accelerated to the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement if the maturity of such term loans precedes the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) decreasing the applicable interest margins, and (iii) amending the financial covenant applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility to be applicable only when greater than 30% (previously 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. If such conditions are met, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Credit Agreement) at the end of the quarter is required to be greater than 5.50 :1.00. At September 30, 2017 , the financial covenant is not applicable as there were no borrowings. Under the Third Amendment, interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a floor of zero for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable rate of 2.75% (previously 3.50% ) subject to an additional step-down to 2.50% or 2.25% , if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio falls below 3.00 :1.00 or 2.50 :1.00, respectively. 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 or an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus 1% , plus an applicable rate of 1.75% (previously 2.50% ), subject to an additional step-down to 1.50% or 1.25% , if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio falls below 3.00 :1.00 and 2.50 :1.00, respectively. 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. There have been no borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility since the issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $21.8 million and $21.3 million which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $378.2 million and $378.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Significant Terms of the 2021 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 in aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Dollar Senior Notes") and related guarantees thereof. Additionally, the Issuers issued €250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior secured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Euro Senior Notes" and, together with the 2021 Dollar Senior Notes, the "2021 Senior Notes") and related guarantees thereof. The 2021 Senior Notes were unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Dutch A B.V. and certain of the Issuers’ subsidiaries. Issuance of New Senior Notes and Redemption of 2021 Senior Notes On August 16, 2016, Axalta Coating Systems, LLC ("New U.S. Issuer") issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “2024 Dollar Senior Notes”) and €335.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “2024 Euro Senior Notes”), each due August 2024 (collectively the “2024 Senior Notes”), for the primary purpose of redeeming the 2021 Dollar Senior Notes.

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. Derivative Instruments Qualifying and Designated as Cash Flow Hedges 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 matured on September 29, 2017 . During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we entered into three 1.5% interest rate caps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $600 million to hedge the variable interest rate exposures on our 2024 Dollar Term Loans. These caps are effective beginning September 30, 2017 through December 31, 2019 and include an aggregate deferred premium of $8.6 million which will be paid quarterly over the term of the cap. 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 sheets: September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Prepaid and other assets: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 0.1 Total assets $ — $ 0.1 Other accrued liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 0.8 Interest rate caps $ 3.0 $ — Other liabilities Interest rate caps $ 1.1 $ — Total liabilities $ 4.1 $ 0.8 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 period earnings. The following tables set forth the locations and amounts recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 for these cash flow hedges.

These contracts have not been designated as hedges and all gains and losses are marked to market through other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased a € 300.0 million 1.5% interest rate cap on our Euro Term Loan for a premium of $3.1 million . The interest rate cap was not designated as a hedge and the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument were recorded in current period earnings and are included in interest expense. This hedge matured on September 29, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we purchased a 1.25% interest rate cap with a notional amount of €388.0 million to hedge the variable interest rate exposures on our 2023 Euro Term Loans. We paid a premium equal to $0.6 million for the interest rate cap which is effective beginning September 30, 2017 through December 31, 2019 . Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in current period earnings and are included in interest expense.

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, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Performance Coatings Refinish $ 395.3 $ 431.7 $ 1,205.1 $ 1,259.3 Industrial 298.2 184.8 737.7 532.4 Total Net sales Performance Coatings 693.5 616.5 1,942.8 1,791.7 Transportation Coatings Light Vehicle 309.7 321.1 984.0 994.9 Commercial Vehicle 88.6 83.0 261.3 254.8 Total Net sales Transportation Coatings 398.3 404.1 1,245.3 1,249.7 Total Net sales $ 1,091.8 $ 1,020.6 $ 3,188.1 $ 3,041.4 Asset information is not reviewed or included with our internal management reporting.

(2) The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that the Company believes are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance, which represents EBITDA adjusted for the select items referred to above. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 58.4 $ (12.9 ) $ 124.8 $ 102.8 Interest expense, net 37.7 42.9 109.1 140.8 Depreciation and amortization 88.6 81.2 255.9 235.8 EBITDA 184.7 111.2 489.8 479.4 Debt extinguishment and refinancing related costs (a) 0.6 81.9 13.0 84.2 Foreign exchange remeasurement losses (b) 3.5 4.5 8.3 30.0 Long-term employee benefit plan adjustments (c) (0.1 ) 0.8 0.4 2.1 Termination benefits and other employee related costs (d) 5.8 16.3 6.6 25.2 Consulting and advisory fees (e) — 2.7 (0.1 ) 8.3 Transition-related costs (f) 1.9 — 5.8 — Offering and transactional costs (g) 0.5 3.0 6.1 4.4 Stock-based compensation (h) 9.2 10.0 30.5 31.6 Other adjustments (i) 0.8 1.5 3.6 5.2 Dividends in respect of noncontrolling interest (j) (1.8 ) (1.5 ) (2.7 ) (3.0 ) Deconsolidation impacts and impairments (k) 4.4 — 78.5 10.5 Adjusted EBITDA $ 209.5 $ 230.4 $ 639.8 $ 677.9 (a) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we prepaid outstanding principal on our term loans, resulting in non-cash pre-tax losses on extinguishment of $4.3 million and $6.6 million , respectively. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we amended our Credit Agreement and refinanced our indebtedness, resulting in additional losses of $77.6 million . In connection with the refinancing of our Dollar Term Loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded losses of $13.0 million , including changes to estimates of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We do not consider these to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (b) Eliminates foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net of impacts associated with our foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures. Exchange effects attributable to the remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiary represented losses of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and losses of $1.2 million and $23.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. (c) Eliminates the non-cash, non-service cost components of long-term employee benefits. (d) Represents expenses primarily related to employee termination benefits and other employee-related costs associated with our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (e) Represents fees paid to consultants for professional services primarily related to our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (f) Represents integration costs related to the acquisition of the Industrial Wood business that was a carve-out business from Valspar. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (g) Represents acquisition-related expenses, including changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, as well as costs associated with the 2016 secondary offerings of our common shares by Carlyle, both of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

(j) Represents the payment of dividends to our joint venture partners by our consolidated entities that are not 100% owned, which are reflected to show the cash operating performance of the entities on Axalta's financial statements. (k) During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded a loss in conjunction with the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary and a non-cash impairment charge related to a real estate investment of $70.9 million and $10.5 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded non-cash impairment charges related to certain manufacturing facilities previously announced for closure of $4.4 million and $7.6 million , respectively.

Venezuela

Venezuela	9 Months Ended

Foreign Currency [Abstract]
Venezuela	VENEZUELA During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we concluded there was an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the Venezuelan bolivar and the U.S. dollar. This lack of exchangeability restricted our Venezuelan subsidiary's ability to pay dividends or settle intercompany obligations, which severely limited our ability to realize the benefits from earnings of our Venezuelan operations and access the resulting liquidity provided by those earnings. Based on the fact that we believe this lack of exchangeability will continue, the continued political unrest, the recent drop in demand for our business and the expected losses we were forecasting for the foreseeable future, we concluded that we no longer met the accounting criteria of control in order to continue consolidating our Venezuelan operations and began accounting for our investments in our Venezuelan subsidiary under the cost method of accounting. As a result of this change, we recorded a loss of $70.9 million on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. This loss was comprised of the subsidiary's net assets for $30.0 million , counterparty intercompany receivables with our Venezuela subsidiary for $35.0 million and unrealized actuarial losses associated with pension plans in accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.9 million . The value of the cost investment and all previous intercompany balances are now recorded at zero as of September 30, 2017. Further, our consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations will no longer include the results of our Venezuelan operations. We will recognize income only to the extent that we are paid for inventory we sell or receive cash dividends from our Venezuelan legal entity. Our Venezuelan subsidiary contributed zero and $2.5 million to net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. This is compared to the subsidiary's net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 which represented $19.4 million and $48.6 million of our consolidated net sales, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 we recorded an impairment loss of $10.5 million at our Venezuelan subsidiary to write down the carrying value of a real estate investment to its fair value. The method used to determine fair values for both assets included using Level 2 inputs in the form of a sale and purchase agreement for the certain manufacturing assets and observable market quotes from local real estate broker service firms for the Venezuela real estate investment.

Recent Accounting Guidance (Pol

Recent Accounting Guidance (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits", which requires that an employer report the service cost component of net periodic pension costs in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires the other components of net periodic pension cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of working with our actuarial specialists in assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment", which eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test requiring an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests conducted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements unless an impairment indicator is identified in our reporting units. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases", which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases (both finance and operating) on the balance sheet. In addition to this main provision, this standard included a number of additional changes to lease accounting. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. At a minimum, total assets and total liabilities will increase in the period of adoption. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which sets forth the accounting guidance applicable for revenue recognition. This standard was initially intended to be 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 previous effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies were allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. Early adoption is not permitted prior to the original effective date. We continue to progress in the quantification of the impacts that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and have refined certain estimates that will be used in order to calculate such impacts, although the final impact remains unknown. We will provide further detail as we progress in our quantification, as well as our determination of the transition method to be adopted. We have reviewed our sales contracts and practices as compared to the new guidance and continue to make progress in our implementation plan as well as our assessment of procedural and policy requirements related to the provisions of this standard. In addition to the expanded disclosures regarding revenue, this guidance will result in the acceleration of revenue recognition in certain arrangements primarily within our Transportation Coatings segment in which we determine effective control over inventory has transferred to the customer upon delivery as compared to consumption under historical consignment arrangements. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing", which provides clarification around identifying performance obligations and the treatment of different licensing contracts. Additional standards related to revenue from contracts with customers have been issued during 2016 to provide narrow scope improvements and clarification. We have continued to assess the potential impact of the revised guidance on our financial statements. In addition to the expanded disclosures regarding revenue, this guidance may impact our accounting and reporting for certain arrangements, including the periods in which we recognize revenue and the potential recording of contract assets for the sale of our products or services. To conclude on these matters, we are involving leadership within our various organizations with specific knowledge of the arrangements to understand the legal, operational and financial matters.

These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that the Company believes are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years.
