the only 2 types of avus are pearl and non-pearl effect. The non pearl comes up lighter. I should know, I got caught out with this when I first ordered the 2 pack spray paint and did my 1st colour coded V6 rear valance. Having done ot all perfectly, I offered up to the car and it was totally the wrong colour, only to find out I'd used the non-pearl which I was told is the correct paint for the wheels

That's probably right, as I recall the paintcode for Avus pearl for the bodywork is LY7J
