About this colour

Stratos Blue, paint code 050

050 Stratos Blue for Volkswagen

Stratos Blue is the metallic pearl blue that Volkswagen lists under paint code 050, used from 1988 to 1992.

Where to find the code on a Volkswagen: vehicle data sticker on the inside cover of the service book; line “Lack-Nr. / Paint No.”; second data sticker on the boot floor, under the carpet. Step-by-step guide

This finish combines metallic flake and pearl. Work in thin coats, stroke scratches in one direction with the brush and let each coat dry before the next. Dark shades show every ridge: build the chip up until it is level, then polish once the paint has cured. Paint of this age has usually faded a little in the sun, so test on a hidden spot first.

We mix 050 Stratos Blue to order and ship it within 24 hours with free tracked delivery. Choose Basic for the pen with needle and brush, Standard for pen and polish paste, or Complete for pen, polish paste, microfibre cloth and glove.

Is this an exact colour match?

Yes. It is mixed to your official colour code, and every order is mixed by hand to order.

If your car's paint is older or faded, the result can vary slightly with age, sun exposure and surface condition.

What kind of damage is this best for?

It is best for small chips, scratches and scuffs.

Deeper damage down to bare metal or plastic may need extra preparation, such as primer or filler, for the cleanest result.

How do I use it, and do I need clear coat?

For most small repairs, apply the paint in thin coats and let each coat dry properly.

Clear coat is usually not needed for small chips and scratches when the paint is applied carefully.

For the best result, do not wash the repaired area for 24–48 hours.
