RS6 Plus Titan Alloys

Post by nekrum » Fri Feb 05, 2010 3:10 pm

Hi

Does anyone have the VAG paint code for the Titan RS6 Plus alloys? Searched and found 8AU but my paint guy says it's not valid paint code?!..

Thanks..

The plus wheels are Titan grey (titan being short for titanium I think).

Jezzer from the RS4 section asked this question on Audiworld and initially the code was presumed to be LY7P but may have been incorrect in favour of 8AU, but someone said that 8AU isn't a paint code, so I'm none the wiser after reading that thread! Thread in question here

Found this chart and it lists titan grey as LY7P also (page is a bit slow to load).

This post however says it is in fact 8AU.

This thread also states 8AU.

RAL code discussed here but pretty vague on accurate info in that thread.

I personally would go with 8AU as Jezzer actually had it done and said it looked perfect, plus not only that but using the search function with the keyword 'Titan' gives more 8AU results than any other.

But still not 100% sure myself! Someone will be along to confirm.

Try giving 'klauster' a PM as he had his mirrors done recently with paint code 8AU. Might be able to steer you in the right direction.

HTH.

Yep - looks like they were refurbed on the cheap before I bought it, paint just flaking off!.. As I need to get them done I thought I may as well get them done in Titan grey as like you say they look awesome on the Mugelle Blue's i've seen..

I'm 100% certain now that the paint code for Audi Titan(ium) grey is 8AU. Finished with Matt lacquer.

A more recent thread on the subject here tends to confirm this.
