Paint Codes/Colours help required for S2Central.net

Yeah, Schilf is a strange one.
Users "Precertvideo" and "K Simmonds" have both said their paint codes on the data sticker is LZ6V. Both are sure it's not LZ6U which would be emerald green, both cars are a lot darker green than that. It's kinda like pearl regussa.
Oh, both were very early 3B's.
Anyhoo, an internet search brought up up the term "Schilf" when searching the paint code. Seeing as both cars definitely have the code LZ6"V" and aren't emerald in colour, it must be right.

OK - I'll annotate that one as 'new live and rare' then

Further to Isis Red Metallic (Y3Z) - that shows up in V-pages with sales code 'W1' which appears in August 1995 S2 Coupe brochure for 'Autumn Red Metallic' - also some other names for colours. All colours applicable to S2 except G5 (Agate/Quartz) and M6 (Emerald).

Never come across it in connection with an S2, so yes I'd say it a rare colour.


Aluminium silver is indeed listed as an A6 colour.
I suppose at the time of original purchase, a buyer could have specified a colour not normally associated with that model. All down to how much Audi quoted for the privilege and whether the buyer was prepared to pay it.

Brilliant - That 'Aluminium Silver' does exist as a valid color for MY96 Coupe - it is sales code 'L5' on the brochure and now I have the paint code. Good stuff...

******, didn't look at the brochure. It's not in the V-pages for a 96 Coupe.

I've found two of the others mentioned in the 95 brochure.

Velvet Blue Metallic = B5P
Quartz Grey Metallic = Y7G

[S2central.net]

Going by sales codes, I had Velvet Blue to be same as Satin Blue...
And Quartz Metallic same as Agate Grey (not an S2 color according to the brochure).

Damn these paint codes....
