Solid does not mean matt

Audi’s exclusive guide lists Nardo Y7C under uni paints and again as a matt effect. Daytona matt has its own X7A reference; it is not an alias for the LZ7S pearl paint compared here. The supplier lists LY7C/T3/T3T3 for Nardo and Z7S/6Y/6YPA alongside LZ7S for Daytona. Keep the finish wording with the code. These flat swatches are used because no comparable vehicle photographs were checked for this guide; they cannot demonstrate pearl effects.
