Daytona Grey is LZ7S. However, this link says that the codes ate linked. I get my paint from Paints4U and a quick phone call to them will answer all your questions. One of the owners (or manager) owns an 8!

If you have the reg number, call audi with it and ask for the paint code.

If they can't give it to you your not likely to find out anywhere else.

Audi couldn't find mine so I rang another dealer who also couldn't find it, but they got in touch with the factory in Germany to get the colour code for me.

Nath ask your audi dealer to give the reg to the factory-they will tell you the paint code.

No one else will be able to tell you an exclusive paint code-it's not likely to even be stamped onto the cars vin plate.
