- Do you know the paint code that you picked out? Looks like Audi Volcano Black Mica, or LZ9U. - Roger 2017-11-22 13:55:07 (1471 views)
  - If it's actually lighter in color, then it's LZ7L, Lava Gray Pearl, used by Audi/Porsche recently. - Roger 2017-11-22 13:59:57 (3138 views)
    - It's definitely called Volcano Gray & I believe the code is M7R/2H - Durt 2017-11-22 14:34:02 (725 views)
      - It's a Porsche color - but I don't know if Audi & Porsche cross-pollinate colors - Durt 2017-11-22 14:35:36 (731 views)
