Default On the Vehicle Build sticker inside the spare tire well.

A copy of that sticker might be in the owners manual as well, or you can have your dealer's parts dept. run your VIN number to tell you the paint code.

Default Either on the sticker in the driver's door jam, or on the white options

sticker in your spare tire well. If you know the color of your car, it's probably easier to search AW. Somewhere on this website, someone once posted a list of Audi paint codes.

Default yes it does

sounds red to me... perhaps laser red? 3= red, 6= green 9= black 7= silver iirc.

Oh I'm good... its laser red... my guess was spot on. Laser Red LY3H/H1

check out paintscratch.com for the codes.

Default Hibiscus Red is the maroon red, Laser Red is the regular red.

You can search for either color, depending on what you have.
