Paint Codes

This may not be the right place to post this, but can one of you Missano red chaps please let me have the paint code for Missano red.

I am being told that the 1997 S6 I have is in Missano, and since the original RS4 catalogue Missano could be anything from post box red to blood red (and I seem to remember Audi telling us that Avus and Missano were unique RS4 colours) I just thought I should check with those that can read it straight from their service booklet!

Many thanks [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Many thanks JR,
Now why, oh why, does my 1997 S6 have Missano red paint when I thought Missano was unique and introduced with RS4? Can anyone confirm that Missano was supposed to be a new RS4 colour?

I take it you've taken your car along to a bodyshop for them to search out the code and they couldn't find it?

If not, and it's not in the log book as JR said. It's often on a sticker in the spare wheel well.

I know my local Audi parts established my paint code from the chassis No. Which was surprising.
