Sepang Blue paint code?

[Syazwi]

I'm looking to repaint my car from Ibis White to Sepang Blue. Anyone know the details of the paint code LY5Q or LY5Q/E9? Pearl effect or metallic?

Are they the same? If not has anyone seen both to them to tell any difference?

Thanks!

LY5Q is the colorcode. The E9 is just some code for the manufacturer.
It got 1 metallic mix and a few Pearl mixes.

I would say its a metallic color.

Awesome! Thanks for the replies! Will update once I get it done!

+1 Not sure why they made them any other color.

Here's a chart with details on Sepang Blue: https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorco...=Sepang%20Blue

Interesting that there's an LY5Q and a LX5M listed for this color. Perhaps one is pearl and the other is metallic? This link for blue Audi colors shows LX5Q as "Sepangblau" and the LX5M as "Sepang Blue"

Audi USA's help line might be able to sort out the difference, if any.
