Need Help with color code

I recently purchased a 2009 A6, gold in color. The usual place inside of the spare tire area where the sticker giving me the paint color code has been removed. I desperately want to find the correct paint code so I can respray the rear bumper. Last owner backed into something and rattle can sprayed the area to cover up the marks and it obviously isnt an exact match. The paint appears to be a gold metal flake, if anyone knows the code so I can research it I would be much appreciated.

Do you have the original owner's manual? If so, there should be the same sticker with all of the codes for your particular Audi A6.

Dakar Beige Metallic LY1Q

Do you mean this colour?

I love how Audi has such fancy names for their colours. My dad had an old '86 5000 ( [flex] bought new, right from the factory, even got a tour of the assembly plant before picking it up [/flex]) lol Anyways, it was Gold as well. But Audi called it "Kalahari Beige" ...so fancy...
