Audi paint codes
On a Audi, the factory paint code is printed on the sticker in the spare-wheel well or trunk area (and in the service book) — VAG codes like LY9C, often shown alongside a short two-character form. It identifies the exact color the car was born with — a respray never changes it. 7 documented colors below with their codes and finishes; swatches are representative.
