Your Paint Color Profile

I6-X7A - Daytona Matte Grey

The Look

This is R8 GT territory. It is the visual equivalent of a low-frequency hum. Not shiny. Not loud. Just pure, industrial aggression. It turned the 2012 supercar into a stealth fighter. It looks like frozen metal. It is rare. You do not see this on a standard commuter car. It defines the "exclusive" look.

Technical Details

This is a pearl effect trapped under a matte finish. That is a dangerous combo for a novice. The pearl gives it depth. The matte texture kills the reflection. This finish is unforgiving. You cannot buff out mistakes. If you rub it too hard, it turns shiny. Then the look is ruined. Permanent stripes are the enemy here.

Best Practices

Look for your code on a paper sticker in the trunk or spare tire well. Before you spray or dab Audi Daytona Matte Grey (check for code I6-X7A), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is vital. The heavy pearl particles sink to the bottom. Test the color on the included card first. When applying, keep the container moving. Work in a cool garage or the shade. Watch your drying time between light layers. Thick coats will kill the matte effect and leave you with a mess.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Audi's Color Code

Audi paint color codes are printed on a paper color id tag, often found around the spare tire area; some Audis also have a metal plate on the driver door jamb. The paper tag can fall off and disappear over time, leaving codes unavailable. Codes can include two parts, e.g., LY9H and P1; LY9H often corresponds to Polar White Clearcoat, and P1 can be used for the same white on some models. Older Audi models can be hard to identify by code; custom matching may be required.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
