Where is the paint code on a Audi?

Vehicle data sticker in the spare-wheel well and in the service booklet. Four characters starting with L, such as LY9B (Brilliant Black) or LY7W (Floret Silver).

Step by step

1. Open the boot, lift the floor panel and find the vehicle data sticker near the spare-wheel well.
2. Read the paint/interior line; the paint code is the four characters before the slash.
3. The service booklet carries a copy of the same sticker.

As with Volkswagen, catalogues sometimes omit the leading L.

No label?

Labels fade or go missing after repairs. A Audi dealer can read the original colour from the VIN, and the service booklet often lists it. If the car has been resprayed, have a painted part (the fuel filler flap is ideal) scanned at a paint shop.
