Paint Codes

Does anyone have a paint code list or know how to find the paint code for the car? I'm trying to get the best match possible for my respray DIY job. I've searched the forum but not found a thread for paint codes.

The paint code is usually found on a manufacturers sticker in the boot area around the battery compartment or on the original service book. If no joy there i would contact an Audi dealer parts department who will hopefully be willing to help if you supply them with your reg no.


It looks like Brilliant red LY3J but its best to check.

In the boot next to the battery there is the cars options sticker, a duplicate is in the manauls pack that the car comes with. Here is my sticker and the paint code is a third of the way down LZ5H in my case and the interior codes are N5T / YG

Spot on, I will have a look in the boot and see what it is, no handbook with the car so I'll have to check the former to find it.
Thanks to both of you for the help.

Just an idea and I know everyone can find the info as already stated but a full list pinned for quick reference would be handy, I'm looking at matching the silver on my wing mirrors to parts I want to spray paint to match but I don't have the paint codes for other A2 colours, just a thought?
 
Did you check the link @Special edition posted above? BTW strongly suggest you obtain the manuals for the car as they are full of useful information and the first place to look for answers.

Lol, thought that was my post in the reply so didn't check it, still would be handy if admin could pin it for all to reference easily.
I will try and get an owners manual, I'd thought about it but forgot as caught up doing so many other things with the A2.
 
If it isn’t there Mark, your local Audi dealers parts department will be able to provide you with the colour/code.
 
Either print off the list or just use google when you want the codes.
That is true but when on the forum it's nice to have easy reference points, any info can be googled but why Google something that has already been produced by another member, it's a simply thing to pin it and make it convenient for all.
 
I’ve made the thread a sticky in the general section. It is at least visible as one of the key threads. It often pays to use google, search what you are looking for followed by A2OC.

The simple answer for that is the site search is no where near as powerful as google so quicker to use google (A2OC ). Even searching pinned items on the site is not as easy as it used to be and as more are pinned.
As @damadgeruk has said the myaudi app can provide more information.
 
You wont find the mirror colour on the sticker as they should be colour coded to the car, if you bought the car with these already coloured silver, if you can go back to the owner before you if it was them that painted them. you may have a chance but failing that find a silver close to them.

It's ok I got them from A2Steve so I know the colour of them after messaging him, thanks anyway.
