Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (“Axalta,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”), at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are audited. 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. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests. Investments in companies in which Axalta does not maintain control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As a result, Axalta’s share of the earnings or losses of such equity affiliates is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and our share of these companies’ stockholders’ equity is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material. We eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the period. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, receivable and inventory valuations, fixed asset valuations, valuations of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, including analysis of impairment, valuations of long-term employee benefit obligations, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation, stock-based compensation, restructuring and allocations of costs. Our estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Accounting for Business Combinations We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The method records any excess purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets as goodwill. Included in the determination of the purchase price is the fair value of contingent consideration, if applicable, based on the terms and applicable targets described within the acquisition agreements (i.e., projected revenues or EBITDA). Subsequent to the acquisition date, the fair value of the liability, if determined to be payable in cash, is revalued at each balance sheet date with adjustments recorded within earnings. The determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests involves assessments of factors such as the expected future cash flows associated with individual assets and liabilities and appropriate discount rates at the closing date of the acquisition. When necessary, we consult with external advisors to help determine fair value. For non-observable market values determined using Level 3 assumptions, we determine fair value using acceptable valuation principles, including most commonly the excess earnings method for customer relationships, relief from royalty method for technology and trademarks, cost method for inventory and a combination of cost and market methods for property, plant and equipment, as applicable. We include the results of operations from the acquisition date in the financial statements for all businesses acquired. Revenue Recognition See Note 2 for disclosure of our revenue recognition accounting policy. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments considered readily convertible to known amounts of cash within three months or less from time of purchase. They are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash balances may exceed government insured limits in certain jurisdictions. Restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets primarily represents cash used to secure certain customer guarantees. Fair Value Measurements GAAP defines a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following valuation techniques are used to measure fair value for assets and liabilities: Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are valued based on management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Derivatives and Hedging The Company from time to time utilizes derivatives to manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rate risk. The fair values of all derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are reported in income or accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI"), depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting treatment and is designated as such. Gains and losses on derivatives that qualify and are designated as cash flow or net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI, to the extent the hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in income. Gains and losses on derivatives qualifying and designated as fair value hedging instruments, as well as the offsetting losses and gains on the hedged items, are reported in income in the same accounting period. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are marked-to-market at the end of each accounting period with the results included in income. Cash flows from derivatives are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows in a manner consistent with the underlying transactions. Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivables are carried at amounts that approximate fair value. Receivables are recognized net of an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial asset, based on historical experience current conditions and reasonable forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written down or off when a portion or all of such account receivable is determined to be uncollectible. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on the weighted average cost method. Elements of cost in inventories include: • raw materials, • direct labor, and • manufacturing and indirect overhead. Stores and supplies are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value; cost is generally determined by the weighted average cost method. Inventories deemed to have costs greater than their respective market values are reduced to net realizable value with a loss recorded in income in the period recognized. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment acquired in an acquisition are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are depreciated over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Subsequent additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. See Note 15 for a range of estimated useful lives used for each property, plant and equipment class. Software included in property, plant and equipment represents the costs of software developed or obtained for internal use. Software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality, which enables the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Leases See Note 7 for disclosure of our accounting policy over leases. Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair values of underlying net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1 st ; however, these tests are performed more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The fair value methodology utilizes multiple valuation methodologies and assumptions, including prices of similar assets, where applicable, or discounted cash flow techniques. When testing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we first have an option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that an impairment exists. Such qualitative factors may include the following: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors; overall financial performance; and other relevant entity-specific events. If based on this qualitative assessment we determine that an impairment is more likely than not, or if we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment, we would be required to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under the quantitative impairment test, the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit, with respect to goodwill, and indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss not to exceed the amount of recorded goodwill or carrying value of the respective indefinite-lived intangible asset. In 2020, we performed a qualitative evaluation for impairment over our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values are less than the respective carrying amounts. Definite-lived intangible assets, such as technology, trademarks, customer relationships and non-compete agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally for periods ranging from 3 to 25 years. We evaluate these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets might not be recoverable. The reasonableness of the useful lives of definite and indefinite-lived assets are regularly evaluated. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The fair value methodology used is an estimate of fair market value and is based on prices of similar assets or other valuation methodologies including present value techniques. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held for use until their disposal. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are classified as held for sale after all applicable attributes in the guidance are met and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell. Depreciation is discontinued for long-lived assets classified as held for sale. Research and Development Research and development costs incurred in the normal course of business consist primarily of employee-related costs and are expensed as incurred. In process research and development projects acquired in a business combination are recorded as intangible assets at their fair value as of the acquisition date, using Level 3 assumptions. Subsequent costs related to acquired in process research and development projects are expensed as incurred. In process research and development intangible assets are considered indefinite-lived until the abandonment or completion of the associated research and development efforts. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment consistent with the impairment testing performed on other indefinite-lived intangible assets discussed above. Upon completion of the research and development process, the carrying value of acquired in process research and development projects is reclassified as a finite-lived asset and is amortized over its useful life. Once amortization commences, these assets are tested for impairment consistent with long-lived assets as discussed above. Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accrued environmental liabilities are not discounted. Claims for recovery from third parties, if any, are reflected separately as an asset. We record recoveries at the earlier of when the gain is probable and reasonably estimable or realized. Costs related to environmental remediation are charged to expense in the period incurred. Other environmental costs are also charged to expense in the period incurred, unless they increase the value of the property or reduce or prevent contamination from future operations, in which case, they are capitalized and depreciated. Litigation We accrue for liabilities related to litigation matters when available information indicates that the liability is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for tax losses, interest and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable in the years in which they are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Where we do not intend to indefinitely reinvest earnings of our subsidiaries, we provide for income taxes and withholding taxes, where applicable, on unremitted earnings. We do not provide for income taxes on unremitted earnings of our subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested. We recognize the benefit of an income tax position only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position will be sustained. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Additionally, we recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income taxes. The current portion of unrecognized tax benefits is included in "Other accrued liabilities" and the long-term portion is included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign Currency Translation Our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. In most cases, our non-U.S. based subsidiaries use their local currency as the functional currency for their respective business operations. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at end-of-period exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in AOCI. Gains and losses from transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other expense (income), net. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the functional currency of our subsidiary in Argentina was changed to be the U.S. Dollar. This determination was made upon conclusion that the Argentinian Peso was hyper-inflationary. Employee Benefits Defined benefit plans specify an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive upon retirement, usually dependent on factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of the future benefits that employees earn in return for their service in the current and prior periods. These benefits are then discounted to determine the present value of the obligations and are then adjusted for the impact of any unamortized prior service costs. The discount rate used is based upon market indicators in the region (generally, the yield on bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the obligations). The calculations are performed by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The obligation of defined benefit plans recorded on our consolidated balance sheets is net of the current fair value of assets. See Note 8 for further information. Stock-Based Compensation We provide directors and certain employees stock-based compensation comprised of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock awards and performance share units. The instruments are measured at fair value on the grant date or date of modification, as applicable. We recognize compensation expense on a graded-vesting attribution basis over the requisite service period, inclusive of impacts of any current period modifications of previously granted awards. Compensation expense is recorded net of forfeitures, which we have elected to record in the period they occur. Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Axalta’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Axalta’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities; anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation. These potentially dilutive securities are calculated under the treasury stock method and consist of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock awards and performance share units. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” under a modified retrospective approach for all financial assets. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires considerations of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The provisions of this standard primarily impact the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables, to which we have applied historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses to the respective aging categories. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 at January 1, 2020 resulted in a one-time loss to retained earnings of $1.5 million on our consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2020. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20 ): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans". This ASU amends ASC 715 to remove certain disclosures, clarify certain existing disclosures and add additional disclosures. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, we adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" which provides optional expedients exercisable through December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. As of December 31, 2020, the expedients provided in this standard do not impact the Company. We will continue to monitor for potential impacts on our financial statements. In December 2020, we adopted ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and updating provisions related to accounting for franchise (or similar) tax partially based on income and interim recognition of enactment of tax law changes. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Risks and Uncertainties In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had a negative impact on the global economy. The Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows were significantly impacted during 2020 as a result of the pandemic and we continue to see impacts to our business given the continued significant presence, and actual or potential spread, of the virus globally, as well as preventative measures enacted in certain regions of the world. We are currently unable to fully determine the future impact of COVID-19 on our business, though we believe the pandemic will continue to have a negative effect on our business during 2021, and potentially longer. We are monitoring the progression of the pandemic and its ongoing and potential effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, which effects could be materially adverse in a particular quarterly reporting period as well as on an annual basis for 2021, and potentially longer.

Revenue

Revenue	12 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	REVENUE We recognize revenue at the point our contractual performance obligations with our customers are satisfied. This occurs at the point in time when control of our products transfers to the customer based on considerations of right to payment, transfer of legal title, physical possession, risks and rewards of ownership and customer acceptance. For the majority of our revenue, control transfers upon shipment of our products to our customers. Our remaining revenue is recorded upon delivery or consumption for our product sales or as incurred for services provided and royalties earned. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for our products or services. Our contracts, including those subject to standard terms and conditions under multi-year agreements, are largely short-term in nature and each customer purchase order typically represents a contract with the delivery of coatings representing the only separate performance obligation. For certain customer arrangements within our light vehicle, industrial and commercial vehicle end-markets, revenue is recognized upon shipment, as this is the point in time we have concluded that control of our product has transferred to our customer based on our considerations of the indicators of control in the contracts, including right of use and risk and reward of ownership. For consignment arrangements, revenue is recognized upon actual consumption by our customers, as this represents the point in time that control is determined to have transferred to the customer based on the contractual arrangement. In our refinish end-market, our product sales are typically supplied through a network of distributors. Control transfers and revenue is recognized when our products are shipped to our distribution customers. Variable consideration in the form of price, less discounts and rebates, are estimated and recorded, as a reduction to net sales, upon the sale of our products based on our ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amounts expected to be received or incurred. The estimates of variable consideration involve significant assumptions based on the best estimates of inventory held by distributors, applicable pricing, as well as the use of historical actuals for sales, discounts and rebates, which may result in changes in estimates in the future. The timing of payments associated with the above arrangements may differ from the timing associated with the satisfaction of our performance obligations. The period between the satisfaction of the performance obligation and the receipt of payment is dependent on terms and conditions specific to the customers. For transactions in which we expect, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of our products or services to our customer and when the customer pays for that good or service to be greater than one year, we adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of any significant financing components that materially change the amount of revenue under the contract. All costs incurred directly in satisfaction of our performance obligations associated with revenue are reported in cost of goods sold on the statements of operations. We also provide certain customers with incremental up-front consideration, including Business Incentive Payments ("BIPs"), which are capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement as a reduction of net sales. We do not receive a distinct service or good in return for these BIPs, but rather receive volume commitments and/or sole supplier status from our customers over the life of the contractual arrangements, which approximates a five-year weighted average useful life. The termination clauses in these contractual arrangements include standard clawback provisions that enable us to collect monetary damages in the event of a customer’s failure to meet its commitments under the relevant contract. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the total carrying value of BIPs were $165.4 million and $191.2 million, respectively, and are presented within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, $64.1 million, $66.9 million and $65.5 million, respectively, was amortized and reflected as reductions of net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The total carrying value of BIPs excludes other upfront incentives made in conjunction with long-term customer commitments of $79.8 million and $79.0 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which will be repaid in future periods. We accrue for sales returns and other allowances based on our historical experience, as well as expectations based on current information relevant to our customers. We include the amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling fees in net sales and include costs incurred for the delivery of goods as cost of goods sold in the statement of operations. Recognition of licensing and royalty income occurs at the point in time when agreed upon performance obligations are satisfied, the amount is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Consideration for products in which control has transferred to our customers that is conditional on something other than the passage of time is recorded as a contract asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet. The contract asset balances at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $37.2 million and $37.5 million, respectively. We have applied certain policy elections upon adoption of the new revenue standard beginning January 1, 2018, including accounting for shipping and handling costs as contract fulfillment costs, as well as excluding from the transaction price any taxes imposed on and collected from customers in revenue producing transactions. Revenue Streams Our revenue streams are disaggregated based on the types of products and services offered in contracts with our customers, which are depicted in each of our four end-markets. • Refinish - We develop, market and supply a complete portfolio of innovative coatings systems and color matching technologies to facilitate faster automotive collision repairs relative to competing technologies. Our refinish products and systems include a range of coatings layers required to match the vehicle’s color and appearance, producing a repair surface indistinguishable from the adjacent surface. • Industrial - The industrial end-market is comprised of liquid and powder coatings used in a broad array of end-market applications. We are also a leading global developer, manufacturer and supplier of functional and decorative liquid and powder coatings for a large number of diversified applications in the industrial end-market. We provide a full portfolio of products for applications including architectural cladding and fittings, automotive coatings, general industrial, job coaters, electrical insulation coatings, HVAC, appliances, industrial wood, coil, rebar and oil & gas pipelines. • Light Vehicle - Light vehicle OEMs select coatings providers on the basis of their global ability to deliver advanced technological solutions that improve exterior appearance and durability and provide long-term corrosion protection. Customers also look for suppliers that can enhance process efficiency to reduce overall manufacturing costs and provide on-site technical support. • Commercial Vehicle - Sales in the commercial vehicle end-market are generated from a variety of applications including non-automotive transportation (i.e., heavy duty truck, bus and rail) and Agricultural, Construction and Earthmoving, as well as related markets such as trailers, recreational vehicles and personal sport vehicles. This end-market is primarily driven by global commercial vehicle production, which is influenced by overall economic activity, government infrastructure spending, equipment replacement cycles and evolving environmental standards. Commercial vehicle OEMs select coatings providers on the basis of their ability to consistently deliver advanced technological solutions that improve exterior appearance, protection and durability and provide extensive color libraries and matching capabilities at the lowest total cost-in-use, while meeting stringent environmental requirements. We also have other revenue streams which include immaterial revenues relative to the net sales of our four end-markets, comprised of sales from royalties and services, primarily within our light vehicle and refinish end-markets. See Note 20 for net sales by end-market.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	RESTRUCTURING On July 29, 2020, we announced a global restructuring of our business given the significant customer demand headwinds caused by COVID-19 and to better position the Company for sustained growth. The global restructuring resulted in pretax charges of $57.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, of which $52.6 million primarily relates to employee severance associated with a net reduction to our workforce of approximately 600 employees globally, while the remaining $5.3 million relates to accelerated depreciation, impairment of assets and other non-cash costs. The global restructuring is expected to result in total pretax charges of approximatel y $60-65 million. The majority of the global restructuring activities are expected to be completed by the end of 2021 with the remaining completed during 2022. We also completed the closure activities associated with our manufacturing facility in Mechelen, Belgium during the first half of 2020. We incurred incremental accelerated depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 of $8.5 million, $24.3 million, and $10.3 million, respectively, which was recorded to cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with the applicable guidance for ASC 712, 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. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we incurred costs for termination benefits of $71.9 million, $34.4 million, and $79.8 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded within other operating charges in the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining payments associated with these actions are expected to be substantially completed within 24 months. The following table summarizes the activity related to termination benefit reserves and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018: Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 71.5 Expense recorded 79.8 Payments made (46.4) Foreign currency translation (2.2) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 102.7 Expense recorded 34.4 Payments made (57.3) Foreign currency translation (1.8) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 78.0 Expense recorded 71.9 Payments made (99.8) Foreign currency translation 5.7 Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 55.8

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees We guarantee certain of our customers’ obligations to third parties, whereby any default by our customers on their obligations could force us to make payments to the applicable creditors. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $8.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. Most of our bank guarantees expire between 2021 and 2026, while others do not have specified expiration dates. We monitor the obligations to evaluate whether we have a liability at the balance sheet date. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred and paid $1.0 million related to our outstanding bank guarantees. We did not have any liabilities related to our outstanding bank guarantees recorded at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Operational Matter In early January 2021, we became aware of an operational matter at certain North America Transportation Coatings customer manufacturing sites. This matter involves a potential issue relating to the use and application of our product in combination with products provided by other suppliers. The matter occurred over a discrete period during the fourth quarter of 2020, and we believe that it is not ongoing in nature. We are working to identify the full scope and root cause of the matter, as well as associated responsibilities among the relevant parties. Based on the information currently available, we do not believe that losses are probable and therefore we have not recorded any liability as of December 31, 2020. Actual costs arising from this matter could result in material charges as we determine the full scope, root cause and associated responsibilities among the relevant parties. Based on the information currently available, although it is uncertain whether we will have any material losses, we believe it is reasonably possible that the total losses associated with this matter could be up to $250 million, assuming full responsibility of all applicable customer costs, though our actual losses could be materially lower or higher as we ultimately conclude our analysis of the full scope, root cause and associated responsibilities among the relevant parties. We maintain insurance, with significant policy limits, that may provide coverage for potential liabilities that may arise from this matter. At this time, however, we have not filed any insurance claims and the ability to recover insurance proceeds is not certain. Other We are subject to various pending lawsuits, legal proceedings and other claims in the ordinary course of business, including civil, regulatory and environmental matters. These matters may involve third-party indemnification obligations and/or insurance covering all or part of any potential damage incurred by us. All of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the proceedings and other claims at this time. The potential effects, if any, on our consolidated financial statements will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable. Except as set forth in the "Operational Matter" section above, we believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with proceedings or claims in excess of the amounts recorded would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period. We are involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites. The timing and duration of remediation and ongoing compliance activities are determined on a site by site basis depending on local regulations. The liabilities recorded represent our estimable future remediation costs and other anticipated environmental liabilities. We have not recorded liabilities at sites where a liability is probable, but that a range of loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with environmental remediation matters in excess of the amounts recorded would likely occur over a period of time and would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	LEASESWe have operating and finance leases for certain of our technology centers, warehouses, office spaces, land, and equipment. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease term is determined to be the non-cancelable period including any lessee renewal options which are considered to be reasonably certain of exercise. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company used judgment to determine an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease expense for fixed lease payments on operating leases is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis, while lease expense for fixed lease payments on finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on an index or adjusted periodically for inflation. The changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. In addition, variable lease expense also includes elements of a contract that is based on usage during the term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Postemployment Benefits [Abstract]
Long-term Employee Benefits	LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Defined Benefit Pensions Axalta has defined benefit plans that cover certain employees worldwide, with over 85% of the projected benefit obligation within the European region as of December 31, 2020. Obligations and Funded Status The measurement date used to determine defined benefit obligations was December 31. The following table sets forth the changes to the projected benefit obligations ("PBO") and plan assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the funded status and amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2020 and 2019 for our defined benefit pension plans: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Change in benefit obligation: Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 640.7 $ 583.7 Service cost 7.6 7.2 Interest cost 9.7 13.1 Participant contributions 1.3 1.2 Actuarial loss, net 41.9 60.9 Plan curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits (15.4) (7.1) Benefits paid (22.8) (22.5) Business combinations and other adjustments 1.5 (0.1) Foreign currency translation 39.5 4.3 Projected benefit obligation at end of year 704.0 640.7 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 356.9 332.3 Actual return on plan assets 26.8 28.3 Employer contributions 24.1 16.9 Participant contributions 1.3 1.2 Benefits paid (22.8) (22.5) Settlements (16.7) (7.4) Business combinations and other adjustments 0.6 (0.1) Foreign currency translation 16.5 8.2 Fair value of plan assets at end of year 386.7 356.9 Funded status, net $ (317.3) $ (283.8) Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of: Other assets $ 5.5 $ 13.0 Other accrued liabilities (12.9) (11.6) Accrued pensions (309.9) (285.2) Net amount recognized $ (317.3) $ (283.8) Net actuarial losses for 2020 and 2019 were primarily due to reductions in the discount rate across the majority of our plans relative to the rates used in the preceding year to determine benefit obligations (see assumptions table below), which were caused by market volatility during the periods. The PBO is the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date, including the effects of estimated future pay increases. The accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") is the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date but does not include the effects of estimated future pay increases. The following table reflects the ABO for all defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Further, the table reflects the aggregate PBO, ABO and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with PBO in excess of plan assets and for pension plans with ABO in excess of plan assets. Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 ABO $ 675.1 $ 613.5 Plans with PBO in excess of plan assets: PBO $ 493.8 $ 401.0 ABO $ 464.9 $ 374.2 Fair value plan assets $ 171.0 $ 104.2 Plans with ABO in excess of plan assets: PBO $ 488.8 $ 401.0 ABO $ 460.7 $ 374.2 Fair value plan assets $ 166.4 $ 104.2 The pre-tax amounts not yet reflected in net periodic benefit cost and included in AOCI include the following related to defined benefit plans: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Accumulated net actuarial losses $ (123.8) $ (97.9) Accumulated prior service credit 1.6 1.5 Total $ (122.2) $ (96.4) The accumulated net actuarial losses for pensions relate primarily to differences between the actual net periodic expense and the expected net periodic expense resulting from differences in the significant assumptions, including return on assets, discount rates and compensation trends, used in these estimates. For individual plans in which the accumulated net actuarial gains or losses exceed 10% of the higher of the fair value of plan assets or the PBO at the beginning of the year, amortization of such excess has been included in net periodic benefit costs. The amortization period is the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits unless a plan is mostly inactive in which case the amortization period is the average remaining life expectancy of the plan participants. Accumulated prior service credit is amortized over the future service periods of those employees who are active at the dates of the plan amendments and who are expected to receive benefits. The estimated pre-tax amounts that are expected to be amortized from AOCI into the consolidated statements of operations as net periodic benefit cost during 2021 for the defined benefit plans is as follows: 2021 Amortization of net actuarial losses, net $ (5.1) Amortization of prior service credit, net 0.1 Total $ (5.0) Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost The following table sets forth the pre-tax components of net periodic benefit costs for our defined benefit plans for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Components of net periodic benefit cost and amounts recognized in comprehensive income: Net periodic benefit cost: Service cost $ 7.6 $ 7.2 $ 8.8 Interest cost 9.7 13.1 13.1 Expected return on plan assets (12.8) (13.9) (16.1) Amortization of actuarial loss, net 3.4 1.9 1.3 Amortization of prior service credit — (0.1) (0.1) Curtailment gain (4.2) (2.3) (0.7) Settlement loss 2.3 1.1 0.6 Special termination benefit loss 1.5 0.3 — Net periodic benefit cost 7.5 7.3 6.9 Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income: Net actuarial loss, net 28.4 46.7 6.7 Amortization of actuarial loss, net (3.4) (1.9) (1.3) Prior service (credit) cost (0.3) — 0.8 Amortization of prior service credit — 0.1 0.1 Curtailment gain 4.2 2.3 0.7 Settlement loss (2.3) (1.1) (0.6) Other adjustments (1.3) — — Total loss recognized in other comprehensive income 25.3 46.1 6.4 Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and comprehensive income $ 32.8 $ 53.4 $ 13.3 Assumptions We used the following assumptions in determining the benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost of our defined benefit plans: 2020 2019 2018 Weighted-average assumptions: Discount rate to determine benefit obligation 1.12 % 1.58 % 2.27 % Discount rate to determine net cost 1.58 % 2.27 % 2.13 % Rate of future compensation increases to determine benefit obligation 2.71 % 2.73 % 2.68 % Rate of future compensation increases to determine net cost 2.73 % 2.68 % 2.69 % Rate of return on plan assets to determine net cost 3.71 % 4.21 % 4.47 % Cash balance interest credit rate to determine benefit obligation 0.40 % 0.49 % 1.13 % Cash balance interest credit rate to determine net cost 0.49 % 1.13 % 0.96 % The discount rates used reflect the expected future cash flow based on plan provisions, participant data and the currencies in which the expected future cash flows will occur. For the majority of our defined benefit pension obligations, we utilize prevailing long-term high quality corporate bond indices applicable to the respective country at the measurement date. In countries where established corporate bond markets do not exist, we utilize other index movement and duration analysis to determine discount rates. The long-term rate of return on plan assets assumptions reflect economic assumptions applicable to each country and assumptions related to the preliminary assessments regarding the type of investments to be held by the respective plans. Estimated future benefit payments The following reflects the total benefit payments expected to be paid for defined benefits: Year ended December 31, Benefits 2021 $ 31.9 2022 $ 29.3 2023 $ 32.2 2024 $ 36.5 2025 $ 37.4 2026—2030 $ 192.6 Plan Assets The defined benefit pension plans for our subsidiaries represent single-employer plans and the related plan assets are invested within separate trusts. Each of the single-employer plans is managed in accordance with the requirements of local laws and regulations governing defined benefit pension plans for the exclusive purpose of providing pension benefits to participants and their beneficiaries. Pension plan assets are typically held in a trust by financial institutions. Our established asset allocation targets are intended to achieve the plan’s investment strategies. Equity securities include varying market capitalization levels. U.S. equity securities are primarily large-cap companies. Fixed income investments include corporate issued, government issued, and asset backed securities. Corporate debt securities include a range of credit risk and industry diversification. Other investments include real estate and private market securities such as insurance contracts, interests in private equity, and venture capital partnerships. Assets measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient ("NAV") include debt asset backed securities, hedge funds, and real estate funds. Debt asset backed securities primarily consist of collateralized debt obligations. The market values for these assets are based on the NAV multiplied by the number of shares owned. Fair value calculations may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although we believe the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The Company’s investment strategy in pension plan assets is to generate earnings over an extended time to help fund the cost of benefits while maintaining an adequate level of diversification for a prudent level of risk. The table below summarizes the weighted average actual and target pension plan asset allocations at December 31 st for all funded Axalta defined benefit plans. Asset Category 2020 2019 Target Allocation Equity securities 20-25% 20-25% 20-25% Debt securities 30-35% 30-35% 30-35% Real estate 0-5% 0-5% 0-5% Other 40-45% 40-45% 40-45% The table below presents the fair values of the defined benefit pension plan assets by level within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1, at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Defined benefit pension plan assets measured using NAV have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements at December 31, 2020 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Asset Category: Cash and cash equivalents $ 5.8 $ 5.8 $ — $ — U.S. equity securities 38.1 37.9 — 0.2 Non-U.S. equity securities 48.4 45.2 0.4 2.8 Debt securities—government issued 77.9 54.0 20.2 3.7 Debt securities—corporate issued 41.5 28.5 10.3 2.7 Private market securities and other 136.0 0.2 1.7 134.1 Total carried at fair value $ 347.7 $ 171.6 $ 32.6 $ 143.5 Investments measured at NAV 39.0 Total $ 386.7 Fair value measurements at December 31, 2019 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Asset Category: Cash and cash equivalents $ 4.0 $ 4.0 $ — $ — U.S. equity securities 36.0 35.7 — 0.3 Non-U.S. equity securities 45.8 42.9 0.4 2.5 Debt securities—government issued 69.6 45.0 19.9 4.7 Debt securities—corporate issued 40.2 28.3 9.4 2.5 Private market securities and other 125.8 1.0 0.7 124.1 Total carried at fair value $ 321.4 $ 156.9 $ 30.4 $ 134.1 Investments measured at NAV 35.5 Total $ 356.9 Level 3 assets are primarily insurance contracts pledged on behalf of employees with benefits in certain countries, ownership interests in investment partnerships, trusts that own private market securities and other debt and equity investments. The fair values of our insurance contracts are determined based on the cash surrender value or the present value of the expected future benefits to be paid under the contract, discounted at a rate consistent with the related benefit obligation. Debt and equity securities consist primarily of small investments in other investments that are valued at different frequencies based on the value of the underlying investments. The table below presents a roll forward of activity for these assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Level 3 assets Total Private market Debt and equity Real estate investments Ending balance at December 31, 2018 $ 151.7 $ 126.9 $ 11.2 $ 13.6 Change in unrealized gain 2.5 1.5 0.7 0.3 Purchases, sales, issues and settlements (8.6) (4.6) (1.9) (2.1) Transfers in/(out) of Level 3 (11.5) — — (11.5) Ending balance at December 31, 2019 $ 134.1 $ 123.8 $ 10.0 $ 0.3 Realized (loss) — — — — Change in unrealized gain 12.5 11.5 0.9 0.1 Purchases, sales, issues and settlements (3.8) (2.2) (1.5) (0.1) Transfers in/(out) of Level 3 0.7 0.7 — — Ending balance at December 31, 2020 $ 143.5 $ 133.8 $ 9.4 $ 0.3 Assumptions and Sensitivities The discount rate is determined as of each measurement date, based on a review of yield rates associated with long-term, high-quality corporate bonds. The calculation separately discounts benefit payments using the spot rates from a long-term, high-quality corporate bond yield curve. The long-term rate of return assumption represents the expected average rate of earnings on the funds invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligations. The long-term rate of return assumption is determined based on a number of factors, including historical market index returns, the anticipated long-term asset allocation of the plans, historical plan return data, plan expenses and the potential to outperform market index returns. For 2021, the expected long-term rate of return is 3.55%. Anticipated Contributions to Defined Benefit Plan For funded pension plans, our funding policy is to fund amounts for pension plans sufficient to meet minimum requirements set forth in applicable benefit laws and local tax laws. Based on the same assumptions used to measure our benefit obligations at December 31, 2020, we expect to contribute $5.5 million to our defined benefit plans during 2021. Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors defined contribution plans in both its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries, under which salaried and certain hourly employees may defer a portion of their compensation. Eligible participants may contribute to the plan up to the allowable amount as determined by the plan of their regular compensation before taxes. All contributions and Company matches are invested at the direction of the employee. Company matching contributions vest immediately and aggregated to $42.2 million, $48.7 million and $43.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation	12 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recogni zed $15.1 million, $15.7 million and $37.3 million , respectively, in stock-based compensation expense, which was allocated between costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. We recognized tax benefits on stock-based compensation of $2.4 million, $0.3 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Description of Equity Incentive Plan In 2013, Axalta’s Board of Directors approved the Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the "2013 Plan") which reserved shares of common stock 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, as amended and restated (the "2014 Plan"), which reserved additional shares of common stock of the Company for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The 2014 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock or 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 stock options may vary with each grant and are determined by the Compensation Committee within the guidelines of the 2013 and 2014 Plans. Option life cannot exceed ten years and the Company may settle option exercises by issuing new shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market. During 2020, we granted restricted stock units and performance share units to certain employees and directors. All awards were granted under the 2014 Plan. The performance share units are subject to certain performance and market conditions, in addition to service-based vesting conditions. During 2020, the Company withheld shares and used cash to settle certain employees' tax obligation resulting from the vesting of awards in the amount of $1.1 million. Stock Options The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate fair values of the options as of the date of the grant. During 2020, there were no options granted. The weighted average fair values of options granted in 2019 and 2018 were $6.98 and $6.78 per share, respectively. A majority of these awards vest ratably over three years. Principal weighted average assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model were as follows: 2019 Grants 2018 Grants Expected Term 6.0 years 6.0 years Volatility 20.25 % 20.27 % Dividend Yield — — Discount Rate 2.47 % 2.66 % The expected term assumptions used for the grants mentioned in the above table were determined using the simplified method. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, use an expected dividend yield of zero. Volatility for outstanding grants was based upon our industry peer group since we have a limited history as a public company. The discount rate was derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. A summary of stock option award activity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented below: Awards Weighted- Aggregate Weighted Outstanding at January 1, 2020 3.0 $ 25.92 Granted — $ — Exercised (0.3) $ 15.07 Forfeited (0.2) $ 28.88 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 2.5 $ 27.34 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2020 2.5 $ 27.34 $ 6.4 4.51 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 2.0 $ 27.30 $ 5.8 3.71 Cash received by the Company upon exercise of options in 2020 was $5.4 million. Tax benefits on these exercises were $0.6 million. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the intrinsic value of options exercised was $4.3 million, $56.6 million and $33.6 million, respectively. The fair value of shares vested during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $3.2 million, $5.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020, there was $0.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost relating to outstanding unvested stock options expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.0 year. Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued 0.5 million shares of restricted stock units. A majority of these awards vest ratably over three years. A summary of restricted stock and restricted stock unit award activity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented below: Awards Weighted-Average Outstanding at January 1, 2020 1.2 $ 28.45 Granted 0.5 $ 29.30 Vested (0.6) $ 28.57 Forfeited (0.1) $ 28.47 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 1.0 $ 28.84 At December 31, 2020, there was $11.3 million of unamortized expense relating to unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The intrinsic value of awards vested during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $14.7 million, $19.7 million and $36.2 million, respectively. The total fair value of awards vested during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $15.8 million, $20.9 million and $35.3 million, respectively. Tax shortfalls on these exercises were $0.3 million. Performance Stock Awards and Performance Share Units During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted performance share units ("PSUs") to certain employees of the Company as part of their annual equity compensation award. During the years prior to December 31, 2019, the Company granted performance share awards and performance share units (collectively referred to as "PSAs"). PSAs granted prior to 2019 are tied to the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of a selected industry peer group or S&P 500. Each award vests over its applicable service period and covers a TSR performance cycle of three years starting at the beginning of the fiscal year in which the shares were granted. The actual number of shares awarded will be between zero and 200% of the target award amount. TSR relative to peers is considered a market condition under applicable authoritative guidance. PSUs granted in 2019 and 2020 are subject to the same service conditions, but also include performance conditions related to internal profitability and return on invested capital metrics over a cumulative performance period of three years, as well as three individual one-year performance periods. At the end of the three-year performance period, the number of PSUs earned based on performance relative to the profitability and invested capital metrics are subject to a market condition in the form of a positive or negative TSR modifier relative to the S&P 500 for 2019 grants and the S&P 400 Materials Index for 2020 grants, over the same three-year performance period. The actual number of shares awarded will be between zero and 200% of the target award amount. A summary of PSA and PSU activity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented below: Awards Weighted-Average Outstanding at January 1, 2020 0.5 $ 32.11 Granted 0.3 $ 31.88 Vested (0.1) $ 38.11 Forfeited (0.2) $ 32.02 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 0.5 $ 31.07 Our PSAs and PSUs allow for participants to vest in more or less than the targeted number of shares granted. All of our awards are currently performing lower than the applicable targets. We currently expect a total of 0.2 million shares with a weighted average fair value per share of $30.48 to vest. At December 31, 2020, there was $4.5 million of unamortized expense relating to unvested PSAs and PSUs that are expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. The forfeitures include PSAs and PSUs that vested below target.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES In 2018, we completed our accounting of the income tax effects of the U.S. TCJA. Tax impacts in future periods may differ, possibly materially, due to changes in interpretations and assumptions that we have made, additional guidance that may be issued by regulatory bodies, and actions and related accounting policy decisions we may take as a result of the new legislation. On January 1, 2020, we completed an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights (the “IP”) to our Swiss subsidiary, where our EMEA regional headquarters is located. The transfer of the IP did not result in a taxable gain; however, it did result in step-up of the Swiss tax-deductible basis in the transferred assets, and accordingly, created a temporary difference between the book basis and the tax basis of the IP, which was transferred at fair value. We applied significant judgment when determining the fair value of the IP, which serves as the tax basis of the deferred tax asset. Consequently, this transaction resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset at the applicable Swiss tax rate, resulting in a one-time tax benefit of $50.5 million. The Company expects to be able to realize the deferred tax assets resulting from these intra-entity asset transfers. The Company’s operations in Switzerland are subject to reduced tax rates through December 31, 2026, as long as certain conditions are met. Due to a pre-tax loss and the step-up of tax-deductible IP noted above in our Swiss subsidiary, the reduced tax rate holiday in Switzerland has an unfavorable impact in 2020.

In 2019, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $24.9 million in Luxembourg related to a local statutory impairment, which is fully offset by a tax expense of $24.9 million for the increase to the valuation allowance.

The non-U.S. valuation allowance primarily relates to tax loss carryforwards from operations in Luxembourg and Netherlands, of $176.2 million and $151.5 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The U.S. valuation allowance relates to state net deferred tax assets.

The Company is subject to income tax in approximately 46 jurisdictions outside the U.S. The Company’s significant operations outside the U.S. are located in Belgium, Brazil, China, Germany, Mexico and Switzerland. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction with 2010 being the oldest tax year still open in the material jurisdictions. Certain of our German subsidiaries are under tax examination for calendar years 2010 to 2017. The Company is also under audit in other jurisdictions outside of Germany for tax years under responsibility of the predecessor, as well as tax periods under the Company's ownership. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, all tax liabilities related to tax years prior to 2013 will be indemnified by DuPont. The result of all open examinations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to our taxes or our net operating losses with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods that could be material. In connection with the income tax audit in Germany for the tax period 2010-2013, the Germany Tax Authority (“GTA”) indicated that it believed that certain positions taken on the 2010-2013 corporate income tax returns were not in compliance with German tax law. While the Company disagrees with the conclusions of the GTA based on the technical merits of our positions, after extensive discussions with the GTA and to avoid a potentially long and costly litigation process, in March 2020 the Company expressed a willingness to settle with the GTA on certain matters and expects to reach a formal agreement in the coming months. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded a charge to income tax expense of $14.3 million. The Company is also currently under audit in Germany for tax years 2014-2017 and is prepared to vigorously defend itself on these matters.

("Dutch B B.V.") and its indirect 100% owned subsidiary, Axalta Coating Systems U.S. Holdings, Inc. ("Axalta US Holdings") executed the fifth amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") governing our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Fifth Amendment converted all of the outstanding 2023 Dollar Term Loans ($1,541.1 million) into a new upsized tranche of term loans with principal of $2,000.0 million (the "2024 Dollar Term Loans"). The 2024 Dollar Term Loans were issued at 99.875% of par, or a $2.5 million discount. On April 11, 2018, Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Sixth Amendment"). The Sixth Amendment repriced the 2024 Dollar Term Loans and increased the aggregate principal balance by $475.0 million to $2,430.0 million. The increased principal balance of the 2024 Dollar Term Loans under the Sixth Amendment was issued at 99.75% of par or a $6.0 million discount. Proceeds from the Sixth Amendment, along with cash on the balance sheet, were used to extinguish the existing 2023 Euro Term Loans. The 2024 Dollar Term Loans together with the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined herein, are referred to as the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities." On October 31, 2018, Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings, the Company, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors entered into the seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Seventh Amendment"). The Seventh Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) allow for the Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company to be added as guarantors under the Credit Agreement, (ii) provide that (A) the covenants in the Credit Agreement generally apply to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries and (B) upon election at any time thereafter, a successor holdings guarantor may be designated and, upon the effectiveness of the guarantee of such successor parent guarantor, the covenants in the Credit Agreement will generally apply to such successor holdings guarantor and its restricted subsidiaries, (iii) otherwise amend the Credit Agreement in order to effect certain corporate transactions as part of a potential internal reorganization of certain of the Company's subsidiaries and certain potential future reorganizations involving the Company and (iv) update guarantee limitations for certain of the guarantors. On November 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Ninth Amendment"). The Ninth Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit any entity that is a successor by merger, conversion, legal continuation, continuation to a foreign jurisdiction or otherwise to the Parent Borrower (as defined in the Credit Agreement), to assume the obligations of Parent Borrower under the Credit Agreement and certain related agreements under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to the terms and conditions of the Ninth Amendment as well as the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly on the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. The 2024 Dollar Term Loans are subject to a floor of zero plus an applicable rate of 1.75% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement and 0.75% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement. Prior to the Sixth Amendment, interest on the 2024 Dollar Term Loans was subject to a floor of zero, plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate for such 2024 Dollar Term Loans was 2.00% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement and 1.00% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined 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 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 the Company and the other guarantors. The 2024 Dollar Term Loans mature on June 1, 2024. Principal is paid quarterly 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 December 31, 2020, the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Revolving Credit Facility On June 28, 2019, (the "Eighth Amendment Effective Date"), Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Eighth Amendment") which impacted the Revolving Credit Facility by (i) extending the maturity date to the earlier of March 2, 2024, the date of termination in whole of the Revolving Credit Facility, or the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) reducing the applicable interest margins on any outstanding borrowings. Under the Eighth Amendment, interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to an interest margin of 1.50% for loans based on the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate and 0.50% for loans based on the Base Rate with, in each case, a 0.25% increase when its First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.25:1.00 but less than or equal to 2.25:1.00 and another 0.25% increase when its First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.25:1.00. At December 31, 2020, the financial covenant is not applicable as there were no borrowings. Prior to the Eighth Amendment, interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was subject to a floor of zero for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate Loans 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 was 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 were to fall below 3.00:1.00 and 2.50:1.00, respectively. On August 1, 2016, 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) decreasing the applicable margins and (ii) 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. Under circumstances described in the Credit Agreement, we may increase available revolving or term facility borrowings by up to $700.0 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 December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $34.0 million and $38.8 million, respectively, which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $366.0 million and $361.2 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Significant Transactions During the year ended December 31, 2020, we voluntarily prepaid $300.0 million of the outstanding principal on the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. As a result of the prepayment, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million consisting of the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts of $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Additionally, in connection with the Ninth Amendment discussed above, incurred $1.5 million in fees, of which $1.1 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs and $0.4 million was expensed. During the year ended December 31, 2019, in connection with the Eighth Amendment discussed above, we recorded $1.8 million of incremental deferred financing costs directly associated with the modification of the Revolving Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2018, in connection with the Sixth Amendment discussed above, we recorded a loss on extinguishment and other financing-related costs of $8.4 million, of which $2.9 million related to the 2023 Euro Term Loan and $5.5 million related to the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. The loss was comprised of the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts of $3.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and other fees directly associated with the Sixth Amendment of $4.6 million. In addition, in connection with the Seventh Amendment discussed above, we recorded a loss of $0.7 million. Significant Terms of the Senior Notes On August 16, 2016, Axalta Coating Systems, LLC ("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”). The 2024 Senior Notes were fully redeemed in November 2020, as described below. On September 27, 2016, Dutch B B.V. ("the Dutch Issuer" and together with the U.S. Issuer, "the Issuers"), issued €450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Euro Senior Unsecured Notes due January 2025 (the “2025 Euro Senior Notes”). The indenture governing the 2025 Euro 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. On October 26, 2018, the Dutch Issuer and the new guarantors party thereto entered into a seventh supplemental indenture (the “October 2018 Supplemental Indenture”) to the 2025 Euro Senior Notes. The October 2018 Supplemental Indentures permit the Company and its subsidiaries to effect certain corporate transactions as part of a potential internal reorganization of certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the "Proposed Restructuring") and certain potential future reorganizations involving the Company. The October 2018 Supplemental Indentures amended the indenture in order to, among other things, (i) add the Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors of the applicable New Senior Notes, (ii) provide that (A) the covenants of the applicable Indenture generally apply to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries and (B) upon an election by the relevant Issuer at any time thereafter, a successor parent guarantor may be designated and, upon the effectiveness of the guarantee of such successor parent guarantor, the covenants of the indenture will generally apply to such successor parent guarantor and its restricted subsidiaries, (iii) otherwise amend the indenture in order to effect the Proposed Restructuring (as defined below) and (iv) update guarantee limitations for certain of the guarantors. In connection with the October 2018 Supplemental Indentures above, the Company became the parent guarantor of the 2025 Euro Senior Notes. Additionally, we recorded a loss of $0.4 million comprised of fees directly associated with the indentures. No deferred financing costs or original issue discounts were written off as a result of the October 2018 Supplemental Indentures. During June 2020, the Issuers issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Dollar Senior Notes”). The 2027 Dollar Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company's existing restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture governing the 2027 Dollar Senior Notes contains covenants that limit the Company’s (and its subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; (iii) make other restricted payments or investments; (iv) create liens on assets; (v) transfer or sell assets; (vi) create restrictions on payment of dividends or other amounts by the Company to the Company’s restricted subsidiaries; (vii) engage in mergers or consolidations; (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (ix) designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. In November 2020, the Company issued $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (“2029 Dollar Senior Notes”, and together with the 2025 Euro Senior Notes and the 2027 Dollar Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from the 2029 Dollar Senior Notes, together with cash on hand were used to redeem the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Dollar Senior Notes and the €335.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Euro Senior Notes and pay related transaction costs and expenses (“November 2020 Restructuring”). In connection with the November 2020 Restructuring, we recorded a $31.4 million loss on extinguishment and other financing-related costs for the year ended December 31, 2020. The loss was compromised of the redemption premium of $20.6 million, write off of unamortized deferred financing costs attributable to the 2024 Senior Notes of $9.8 million and other fees directly associated with the transaction of $1.0 million. i) 2025 Euro Senior Notes The 2025 Euro Senior Notes were issued at par and are due January 15, 2025.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value of financial instruments Equity securities with readily determinable fair values - Balances of equity securities are recorded within other assets, with any changes in fair value recorded within other expense (income), net. The fair values of equity securities are based upon quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 inputs. Long-term borrowings - The estimated fair values of these borrowings are based on recent trades, as reported by a third-party pricing service. Due to the infrequency of trades, these inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs. Derivative instruments - The Company’s interest rate caps, interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are included in the Level 2 hierarchy. The table below presents the fair values of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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 and Net Investment Hedges Interest Rate Caps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges During the year ended December 31, 2017, we entered into four 1.5% interest rate caps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $850.0 million to hedge the variable interest rate exposures on our 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Three of these interest rate caps, comprising $600.0 million of the notional value, expired December 31, 2019 and had a deferred premium of $8.6 million at inception. The fourth interest rate cap, comprising the remaining $250.0 million of the notional value, expires December 31, 2021 and had a deferred premium of $8.1 million at inception. All deferred premiums are paid quarterly over the term of the respective interest rate caps. These interest rate caps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into three interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $475.0 million to hedge interest rate exposures related to variable rate borrowings under the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company is required to pay the counter-parties a stream of fixed interest payments at a rate of 2.72% and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on 3-month LIBOR from the counter-parties. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and expire on March 31, 2023. These interest rate swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into two interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $500.0 million, effective December 31, 2019, to hedge interest rate exposure associated with the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company is required to pay the counter-parties a stream of fixed interest payments at a rate of 2.59% and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on 3-month LIBOR from the counter-parties. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and expire on December 31, 2022. These interest rate swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we entered into two interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $400.0 million to hedge interest rate exposures associated with the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company is required to pay the counterparties a stream of fixed interest payments at rates of 1.61% and 1.18% on $200.0 million of notional value for each instrument, and in-turn, receives variable interest payments based on 3-month LIBOR from the counter-parties. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and expire on December 31, 2022. These interest rate swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Cross-Currency Swaps Designated as Net Investment Hedges During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into three fixed-for-fixed cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $475.0 million to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. Dollar and Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged $475.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.47% for €387.2 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.95%. The cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges and expire on March 31, 2023. These cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments, within AOCI. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we settled three fixed-for-fixed cross-currency swaps previously executed in 2018 resulting in cash proceeds of $22.5 million. Concurrently, we notionally exchanged $475.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.47% for €416.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.44%. The cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges and expire on March 31, 2023. These cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments, within AOCI. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Dollar Senior Notes we entered into two fixed-for-fixed cross currency swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling €335.0 million to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. Dollar and Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, the Company notionally exchanged $396.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.375% for €335.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 2.15%. The cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges and expire on February 15, 2029. These cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments, within AOCI. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges During the year ended December 31, 2020, we designated foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of $8.3 million as cash flow hedges of the Company’s exposure to variability in exchange rates on forecasted purchases of inventory denominated in foreign currencies. These forward currency contracts are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to cost of goods sold in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments that qualify and have been designated as cash flow and net investment hedges included in AOCI: December 31, 2020 2019 AOCI: Interest rate caps (cash flow hedges) 2.6 3.5 Interest rate swaps (cash flow hedges) 60.0 29.4 Foreign currency forward contracts (cash flow hedges) 0.3 — Cross-currency swaps (net investment hedges) 35.2 (22.4) Total AOCI $ 98.1 $ 10.5 Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis. The following tables set forth the locations and amounts recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 for these cash flow and net investment hedges.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges We periodically enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce market risk and hedge our balance sheet exposures and cash flows for subsidiaries with exposures denominated in currencies different from the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. These contracts have not been designated as hedges and all gains and losses are marked to market through other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations. Fair value gains and losses of derivative contracts, as determined using Level 2 inputs, that have not been designated for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in earnings as follows: Derivatives Not Designated as Location of Loss (Gain) Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Foreign currency forward contracts Other expense (income), net $ 3.3 $ 2.8 $ (7.9)

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. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Axalta transitioned to using Adjusted EBIT as the primary measure to evaluate financial performance of the operating segments and allocate resources. Asset information is not reviewed or included with our internal management reporting. Therefore, the Company has not disclosed asset information for each reportable segment. The following table presents relevant information of our reportable segments. Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Net sales (1) : Refinish $ 1,449.0 $ 1,760.4 $ 1,759.6 Industrial 1,067.4 1,163.0 1,273.5 Total Net sales Performance Coatings 2,516.4 2,923.4 3,033.1 Light Vehicle 960.5 1,208.4 1,307.2 Commercial Vehicle 260.7 350.4 355.7 Total Net sales Transportation Coatings 1,221.2 1,558.8 1,662.9 Total Net sales $ 3,737.6 $ 4,482.2 $ 4,696.0 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Investment in unconsolidated affiliates: Performance Coatings $ 2.0 $ 2.4 $ 2.7 Transportation Coatings 8.7 12.7 12.7 Total $ 10.7 $ 15.1 $ 15.4 (1) The Company has no intercompany sales between segments.

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 have not occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBIT 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 Adjusted EBIT adjusted for the select items referred to above. (2) Does not represent Axalta’s Adjusted EBIT referenced elsewhere by the Company as there are additional adjustments that are not allocated to the segments. (a) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the prepayment, restructuring, and refinancing of our indebtedness, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (b) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to employee termination benefits and other employee-related costs. Employee termination benefits are primarily associated with Axalta Way initiatives, which include recent incremental restructuring actions. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (c) Represents costs for legal, tax and other advisory fees pertaining to our review of strategic alternatives that was concluded in March 2020, as well as retention awards for certain employees which will be earned over a period of 18-24 months, ending September 2021. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing performance. (d) Represents acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (e) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the sale of our joint venture business during 2019 and other impairments, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing performance. (f) Represents certain defined benefit pension costs associated with special events, including pension curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (g) Represents incremental depreciation expense resulting from truncated useful lives of the assets impacted by our manufacturing footprint assessments, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (h) Represents indemnity loss (income) associated with the acquisition by Axalta of the DuPont Performance Coatings business, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (i) Represents mark to market impacts of our equity investments, which we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (“Axalta,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”), at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are audited. 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.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests. Investments in companies in which Axalta does not maintain control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As a result, Axalta’s share of the earnings or losses of such equity affiliates is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and our share of these companies’ stockholders’ equity is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material. We eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the period. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, receivable and inventory valuations, fixed asset valuations, valuations of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, including analysis of impairment, valuations of long-term employee benefit obligations, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation, stock-based compensation, restructuring and allocations of costs. Our estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Accounting for Business Combinations	Accounting for Business Combinations We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The method records any excess purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets as goodwill. Included in the determination of the purchase price is the fair value of contingent consideration, if applicable, based on the terms and applicable targets described within the acquisition agreements (i.e., projected revenues or EBITDA). Subsequent to the acquisition date, the fair value of the liability, if determined to be payable in cash, is revalued at each balance sheet date with adjustments recorded within earnings. The determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests involves assessments of factors such as the expected future cash flows associated with individual assets and liabilities and appropriate discount rates at the closing date of the acquisition. When necessary, we consult with external advisors to help determine fair value. For non-observable market values determined using Level 3 assumptions, we determine fair value using acceptable valuation principles, including most commonly the excess earnings method for customer relationships, relief from royalty method for technology and trademarks, cost method for inventory and a combination of cost and market methods for property, plant and equipment, as applicable. We include the results of operations from the acquisition date in the financial statements for all businesses acquired.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments considered readily convertible to known amounts of cash within three months or less from time of purchase. They are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash balances may exceed government insured limits in certain jurisdictions. Restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets primarily represents cash used to secure certain customer guarantees.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements GAAP defines a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following valuation techniques are used to measure fair value for assets and liabilities: Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are valued based on management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Derivatives and Hedging	Derivatives and Hedging The Company from time to time utilizes derivatives to manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rate risk. The fair values of all derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are reported in income or accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI"), depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting treatment and is designated as such. Gains and losses on derivatives that qualify and are designated as cash flow or net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI, to the extent the hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in income. Gains and losses on derivatives qualifying and designated as fair value hedging instruments, as well as the offsetting losses and gains on the hedged items, are reported in income in the same accounting period. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are marked-to-market at the end of each accounting period with the results included in income. Cash flows from derivatives are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows in a manner consistent with the underlying transactions.
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivables are carried at amounts that approximate fair value. Receivables are recognized net of an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial asset, based on historical experience current conditions and reasonable forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written down or off when a portion or all of such account receivable is determined to be uncollectible.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on the weighted average cost method. Elements of cost in inventories include: • raw materials, • direct labor, and • manufacturing and indirect overhead.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment acquired in an acquisition are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are depreciated over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Subsequent additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. See Note 15 for a range of estimated useful lives used for each property, plant and equipment class. Software included in property, plant and equipment represents the costs of software developed or obtained for internal use. Software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality, which enables the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair values of underlying net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1 st ; however, these tests are performed more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The fair value methodology utilizes multiple valuation methodologies and assumptions, including prices of similar assets, where applicable, or discounted cash flow techniques. When testing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we first have an option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that an impairment exists. Such qualitative factors may include the following: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors; overall financial performance; and other relevant entity-specific events. If based on this qualitative assessment we determine that an impairment is more likely than not, or if we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment, we would be required to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under the quantitative impairment test, the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit, with respect to goodwill, and indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss not to exceed the amount of recorded goodwill or carrying value of the respective indefinite-lived intangible asset. In 2020, we performed a qualitative evaluation for impairment over our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values are less than the respective carrying amounts.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The fair value methodology used is an estimate of fair market value and is based on prices of similar assets or other valuation methodologies including present value techniques. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held for use until their disposal. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are classified as held for sale after all applicable attributes in the guidance are met and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell. Depreciation is discontinued for long-lived assets classified as held for sale.
Research and Development	Research and Development Research and development costs incurred in the normal course of business consist primarily of employee-related costs and are expensed as incurred. In process research and development projects acquired in a business combination are recorded as intangible assets at their fair value as of the acquisition date, using Level 3 assumptions. Subsequent costs related to acquired in process research and development projects are expensed as incurred. In process research and development intangible assets are considered indefinite-lived until the abandonment or completion of the associated research and development efforts. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment consistent with the impairment testing performed on other indefinite-lived intangible assets discussed above. Upon completion of the research and development process, the carrying value of acquired in process research and development projects is reclassified as a finite-lived asset and is amortized over its useful life. Once amortization commences, these assets are tested for impairment consistent with long-lived assets as discussed above.
Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures	Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accrued environmental liabilities are not discounted. Claims for recovery from third parties, if any, are reflected separately as an asset. We record recoveries at the earlier of when the gain is probable and reasonably estimable or realized. Costs related to environmental remediation are charged to expense in the period incurred. Other environmental costs are also charged to expense in the period incurred, unless they increase the value of the property or reduce or prevent contamination from future operations, in which case, they are capitalized and depreciated.
Litigation	Litigation We accrue for liabilities related to litigation matters when available information indicates that the liability is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for tax losses, interest and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable in the years in which they are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Where we do not intend to indefinitely reinvest earnings of our subsidiaries, we provide for income taxes and withholding taxes, where applicable, on unremitted earnings. We do not provide for income taxes on unremitted earnings of our subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. In most cases, our non-U.S. based subsidiaries use their local currency as the functional currency for their respective business operations. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at end-of-period exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in AOCI. Gains and losses from transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other expense (income), net. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the functional currency of our subsidiary in Argentina was changed to be the U.S. Dollar. This determination was made upon conclusion that the Argentinian Peso was hyper-inflationary.
Employee Benefits	Employee Benefits Defined benefit plans specify an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive upon retirement, usually dependent on factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of the future benefits that employees earn in return for their service in the current and prior periods. These benefits are then discounted to determine the present value of the obligations and are then adjusted for the impact of any unamortized prior service costs. The discount rate used is based upon market indicators in the region (generally, the yield on bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the obligations). The calculations are performed by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The obligation of defined benefit plans recorded on our consolidated balance sheets is net of the current fair value of assets. See Note 8 for further information.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation We provide directors and certain employees stock-based compensation comprised of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock awards and performance share units. The instruments are measured at fair value on the grant date or date of modification, as applicable. We recognize compensation expense on a graded-vesting attribution basis over the requisite service period, inclusive of impacts of any current period modifications of previously granted awards. Compensation expense is recorded net of forfeitures, which we have elected to record in the period they occur.
Earnings per Common Share	Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Axalta’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Axalta’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities; anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation. These potentially dilutive securities are calculated under the treasury stock method and consist of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock awards and performance share units.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance	Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” under a modified retrospective approach for all financial assets. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires considerations of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The provisions of this standard primarily impact the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables, to which we have applied historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses to the respective aging categories. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 at January 1, 2020 resulted in a one-time loss to retained earnings of $1.5 million on our consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2020. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20 ): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans". This ASU amends ASC 715 to remove certain disclosures, clarify certain existing disclosures and add additional disclosures. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, we adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" which provides optional expedients exercisable through December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. As of December 31, 2020, the expedients provided in this standard do not impact the Company. We will continue to monitor for potential impacts on our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition	We recognize revenue at the point our contractual performance obligations with our customers are satisfied. This occurs at the point in time when control of our products transfers to the customer based on considerations of right to payment, transfer of legal title, physical possession, risks and rewards of ownership and customer acceptance. For the majority of our revenue, control transfers upon shipment of our products to our customers. Our remaining revenue is recorded upon delivery or consumption for our product sales or as incurred for services provided and royalties earned. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for our products or services. Our contracts, including those subject to standard terms and conditions under multi-year agreements, are largely short-term in nature and each customer purchase order typically represents a contract with the delivery of coatings representing the only separate performance obligation. For certain customer arrangements within our light vehicle, industrial and commercial vehicle end-markets, revenue is recognized upon shipment, as this is the point in time we have concluded that control of our product has transferred to our customer based on our considerations of the indicators of control in the contracts, including right of use and risk and reward of ownership. For consignment arrangements, revenue is recognized upon actual consumption by our customers, as this represents the point in time that control is determined to have transferred to the customer based on the contractual arrangement. In our refinish end-market, our product sales are typically supplied through a network of distributors. Control transfers and revenue is recognized when our products are shipped to our distribution customers. Variable consideration in the form of price, less discounts and rebates, are estimated and recorded, as a reduction to net sales, upon the sale of our products based on our ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amounts expected to be received or incurred. The estimates of variable consideration involve significant assumptions based on the best estimates of inventory held by distributors, applicable pricing, as well as the use of historical actuals for sales, discounts and rebates, which may result in changes in estimates in the future. The timing of payments associated with the above arrangements may differ from the timing associated with the satisfaction of our performance obligations. The period between the satisfaction of the performance obligation and the receipt of payment is dependent on terms and conditions specific to the customers. For transactions in which we expect, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of our products or services to our customer and when the customer pays for that good or service to be greater than one year, we adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of any significant financing components that materially change the amount of revenue under the contract.
Leases	We have operating and finance leases for certain of our technology centers, warehouses, office spaces, land, and equipment. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease term is determined to be the non-cancelable period including any lessee renewal options which are considered to be reasonably certain of exercise. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company used judgment to determine an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease expense for fixed lease payments on operating leases is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis, while lease expense for fixed lease payments on finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method.Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on an index or adjusted periodically for inflation. The changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. In addition, variable lease expense also includes elements of a contract that is based on usage during the term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

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 have not occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBIT 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 Adjusted EBIT adjusted for the select items referred to above. (2) Does not represent Axalta’s Adjusted EBIT referenced elsewhere by the Company as there are additional adjustments that are not allocated to the segments. (a) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the prepayment, restructuring, and refinancing of our indebtedness, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (b) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to employee termination benefits and other employee-related costs. Employee termination benefits are primarily associated with Axalta Way initiatives, which include recent incremental restructuring actions. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (c) Represents costs for legal, tax and other advisory fees pertaining to our review of strategic alternatives that was concluded in March 2020, as well as retention awards for certain employees which will be earned over a period of 18-24 months, ending September 2021. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing performance. (d) Represents acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (e) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the sale of our joint venture business during 2019 and other impairments, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing performance. (f) Represents certain defined benefit pension costs associated with special events, including pension curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (g) Represents incremental depreciation expense resulting from truncated useful lives of the assets impacted by our manufacturing footprint assessments, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (h) Represents indemnity loss (income) associated with the acquisition by Axalta of the DuPont Performance Coatings business, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (i) Represents mark to market impacts of our equity investments, which we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
