Audi Daytona Grey Pearl LZ7S: Paint Code & Touch Up Paint Guide

Audi Daytona Grey Pearl is a deep grey pearl-effect finish commonly associated with paint code LZ7S. Because it uses a pearl effect, application technique and the surrounding finish can influence how a repair looks.

If your Audi is Daytona Grey, confirm the code rather than choosing by colour name alone. Audi has used several greys that can look similar in photographs or poor lighting.

What is the Audi Daytona Grey paint code?

LZ7S is the manufacturer code commonly used for Daytona Grey Pearl. Some paint databases also show alternative supplier references, but the code on the vehicle's own label is the safest reference.

Is Daytona Grey metallic?

Daytona Grey is a pearl-effect grey. It is not the same as a flat solid grey such as Nardo Grey. Pearl particles affect how light reflects from the surface, so coat thickness and application method matter more than on a simple solid colour.

Where can I find the Audi paint code?

Audi paint information is commonly found on the vehicle data sticker, often in the boot/spare-wheel area or in vehicle documentation. If the sticker is missing or unclear, use the registration or VIN information to help confirm the colour.

How to repair Daytona Grey stone chips

For tiny stone chips, a touch-up pen or brush bottle is usually the easiest method. Apply very small amounts and build the repair gradually. A heavy blob can alter the way the pearl effect reflects light and make the repair stand out.

When to use an aerosol

For larger scuffs or broader localised repairs, an aerosol is usually more suitable because it allows the effect pigments to distribute more evenly. Correct preparation, distance and coat control are important.

Do I need lacquer?

Many pearl automotive basecoat systems are designed to be finished with clear lacquer. Follow the instructions for the exact system supplied to you. Our clear lacquer guide explains the finishing stage in more detail.

Why can Daytona Grey look different after repair?

Pearl orientation, coat thickness, lighting, paint age, polishing and previous body repairs can all influence the visible shade. Even when the correct code is used, the final appearance depends on how the repair is applied.
