Paint Codes & Touch-Up Colors Volkswagen β Where to Find the Paint Code Sticker, Shades & Touch-Up Pens
π Where to find the exact paint code sticker/plate on Volkswagen:
White paper data sticker in the spare wheel well in the boot, inside the service book, or on the driver-side B-pillar (paint code starts with L, e.g. LC9X, LA7W, LB9A).
Most Common OEM Paint Codes for Volkswagen and Recommended Touch-Up Procedure:
| OEM Paint Code | Shade Name & Paint Type | Recommended Repair Kit (Pen / Spray / 2K Clearcoat) & Application Tip |
|---|---|---|
| LC9X / 2T2T | Deep Black Pearl (2K Pearl Effect Paint) | Requires a 2-coat system: 1K basecoat (touch-up pen or aerosol spray) + mandatory 2K clearcoat for high gloss and UV protection. |
| LA7W / 8E8E | Reflex Silver Metallic (2K Metallic Paint) | Bright aluminum 2K metallic: shake the aerosol can thoroughly for 2 minutes before spraying, apply 2 thin basecoat mist coats, and top with 2K clearcoat after 20 min. |
| LB9A / B4B4 | Candy White (1K/2K Solid Acrylic Paint) | Direct-gloss 1K/2K solid acrylic shade: for small stone chips, a single-stage 2-in-1 touch-up pen/brush is sufficient without requiring a separate clearcoat. |
| LC9A / 0Q0Q | Pure White (2K Solid Paint) | Modern 2-coat pastel solid paint: apply the color basecoat, seal with 2K clearcoat after flash-off, and polish the blend transition with rubbing compound. |
| LD7X / 2R2R | Platinum Grey Metallic (2K Metallic Paint) | Darker 2K metallic: when repairing scratches, degrease with silicone remover, wet-sand with P2000 grit, and apply a basecoat spray + 2K high-gloss clearcoat kit. |
| LI7F / 5K5K | Urano Grey Solid (2K Solid Paint) | Modern 2-coat pastel solid paint: apply the color basecoat, seal with 2K clearcoat after flash-off, and polish the blend transition with rubbing compound. |
