Colour codes

[Stephen02]

I need to get a scratch repair kit for my 2009 59 plate Cali. It is met black and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is diamond or deep black or where I might find the colour code.

Help appreciated...

Hi Steve,
You will find your paint code in your service schedule.
When you purchased your vehicle, the dealer will stick the matrix of build codes on the inside of the front cover. Three lines below the 'California Comf. KR' line, you will see a code such as
"LH1W 0000 0000 RG"
This code is for my sand beige (2011).
So the paint code would read "LH1W/RG" for my sand beige and
"LA7W/8E" for a silver
"LC9X/2T" for deep black and "LO41/A1" for black etc... Please note these are 2011 codes so they may differ for other years.
Many paint scratch sites around. "Paintscratch.com" is one and if you get your paint code from your service book you should be able to get your scratch kit quickly...
Hope this helps!
Joe

Just ring any VW dealer with your chassis no and they should be able to tell you the code you need

VW sell touch up kits with the paint and clear lacquer. I found them as cheap as other suppliers.
