Need Help Verifying the Name of the Initial Paint Colour

[VVC-Geeza]

Although it may not seem important, I am finding it more difficult than I anticipated to determine the precise name of the paint colour of my vehicle. The body shop wanted to know the exact name of the color—not just blue or gray—so they could touch up a few scratches. The colour appears to shift in response to changes in lighting, adding to the already perplexing situation. No paperwork pertaining to the car's paint job was included when I purchased it used. There doesn't seem to be anything that would explain it when I look under the hood and around the door frames. The last thing I need is to order the wrong paint and ruin the look. Please share your experience if you have ever had to locate the paint code for a used car.

The paint code, rather than the name, is the better choice. To find out which license plate bears the code, consult the manual.

I found mine under the carpet in the trunk, so be sure to look in the spare tire well as well. A website named https://smartcarcheck.uk/car-check was actually something I found by accident. If you try your reg, it can bring up your specification details when I was exploring forums for my own code. Otherwise, entering your VIN into the parts system of a major dealer should yield the most accurate results. Which year and model is it?

Except in the case of a one-of-a-kind custom project, you'd think a real Audi dealer would know.

You can find your build sticker in the spare tyre well.

The intended appearance and where to buy the paint are shown below.


But if that doesn't work, there are many of excellent sites like www.madpaints.co.uk that just require your registration.
