Frequently Asked Questions
What does the “L” mean in Audi paint codes?
Most Audi paint codes begin with the letter “L”, followed by a combination of letters and numbers. This code identifies the exact factory paint formula used on your vehicle and helps ensure the most accurate color match.
Can I find my Audi paint code using my VIN?
In some cases, an Audi dealership may be able to identify your original paint color using your VIN. However, locating the factory paint code label on your vehicle remains the most reliable method.
