Flat or Matte White RS5 - Ibis White?

[veedub62]

I'm shopping for a 2014/2015 RS5 and looked at one locally. The paint was in severe condition, but was listed as Ibis White. The paint looked flat, same paint in the door sills. Is this how Ibis White looks in person or was this an Audi exclusive color? I walked away from the car due to the poor condition of the paint, could see the rain spots baked into the matte paint. The salesman assured me that this is factory paint because it was continuous in the door sills and trunk area.

Might actually be Suzuka Gray which can appear white in bright light. You can do a search for the window sticker here and it'll tell you exactly what it is and what options it has;

Edit: Suzuka can appear a bit "flat" but it's a highly desirable color in the Audi community. Also, be really careful with RS5's in Texas. Not saying this one is "one of them" but there were a number of RS5's for sale in Houston prior to the hurricane hitting. Including a 2014 Suzuka which I was about to purchase. Had aftermarket wheels, split 5-spokes. Called three days after the storm and they said it had been taken by the storm. Just do your due diligence on the vehicle.

There are two Suzuka grey colors, if I'm not mistaken. An actual flat, and an actual gloss. Most are glossy.

I worked at a dealer ship and never saw a flat Ibis White, they were always glossy.

Ibis White is a gloss.

The car @ Grapevine is in fact Ibis per the window sticker, so either it's been wrapped with something like Xpel Stealth (door jambs can be wrapped, but would still be detectable in trunk cavity, engine bay, etc), or repainted.

Thanks for the info. Yes, the window sticker does show ibis white but even in the trunk area, it's a matte finish. Could it be a misprint?
I've had previous cars wrapped before and looked in the usual places around the hood and door edges, but this car was not wrapped.

DO you have the VIN? The link I posted earlier will tell you. It doesn’t lie.
