Where to find your Volkswagen paint code
The factory colour code that gives your Volkswagen its exact colour — find it once and order a perfect-match touch-up.
On most Volkswagen models the paint code is on a sticker in the boot, in the spare-wheel well, next to Lack / Paint. The code there — for example LC9X — is your colour. Copy it exactly.
If it's not there
- Driver-side door jamb (B-pillar).
- Under the bonnet near the strut towers.
- Service book or your original paperwork.
