Is the white color of Lavida a metallic paint?
2 Answers
No, generally white, yellow, black, and red are not metallic paints, while silver is considered a metallic paint. Below is some relevant information about the Lavida Plus: 1. Exterior: The front design of the Lavida resembles the Arteon, with horizontal grilles integrated with the headlights, and a chrome strip running across the top of the grille. The headlights are more refined, with high-end models featuring LED low and high beams, complemented by LED strip daytime running lights. 2. Interior: The Lavida Plus interior comes in three color schemes: Cool Black, Warm Beige, and Personality Brown. The dashboard combines mechanical elements with an LCD screen, and the new car is also equipped with features like auto hold, electronic parking brake, leather seats, one-key start, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air vents, and rear USB charging ports. High-end models feature automatic climate control and also come standard with rear air vents.
I'm a long-time Lavida owner, having driven mine for over five years. I chose white back then because it's easy to maintain and hides dirt well. Lavida offers several white options - the standard is Candy White, which is a non-metallic solid paint, giving a clean and simple look without any glitter particles. If you want something flashier, Volkswagen might offer metallic paint options. For example, some model years had Crystal White with metallic flakes that sparkle in sunlight, but it costs extra. Metallic paint is indeed more scratch-resistant, but repairs are pricier - even minor scratches require professional respraying to avoid color mismatch. From my experience, regular white paint holds up just fine with proper care - just avoid using stiff brushes when washing. Always check the spec sheet or confirm with the salesperson when purchasing to avoid regrets later.
