I'm not 100% sure but I think the paint code is on the inside of the driver door jam. Open your door and look at the sticker near the latch. hope that helps some.

Probably LY9B.
^^ That's for Brilliant Black Clearcoat; but it could also be Volcanic Black Pearl Effector whatever the other black shade is called. I'm not sure where the paint code is on a B6, but on my B5 it's located on a label inside the spare wheel well in the trunk, and it'll be a numeral/letter combination like LY9B/A1. Good luck!

Right, but according to paintscratch.com, there was only one color of black for the '03 Cabriolet.

yes, but the question on location of paint code was never answered, i thought the point of these forums was to get answers to questions like these.
