Where is the paint color code for Volkswagen cars?
2 Answers
According to the chassis number of the car, the paint color code can be found, so the paint color code for Volkswagen is located on the chassis. The following introduces the maintenance methods for car paint: Waxing the car: The main function is to inhibit the oxidation of harmful external elements on the car paint, resist UV rays, and enhance the brightness of the car paint to a certain extent. However, the effect lasts for a relatively short time, usually about 1 month, and is water-sensitive, losing its effect when it rains or the car is washed. Glazing the car: In addition to the effects of wax, glazing can also increase the strength of the car paint and prevent fine scratches caused by wind and sand hitting the car body. The effect lasts relatively longer, up to about 3 to 4 months.
Having run an auto repair shop for over a decade, I've learned there's a method to finding Volkswagen paint codes. Typically, check the vehicle identification plate on the inner B-pillar when you open the door – it bears a three-digit code with letters indicating the paint color. The backside of the trunk tool compartment cover might also have this information. Older Sagitar and Passat models often display the paint code on the engine compartment firewall, visible when you lift the hood. If these locations yield nothing, provide the VIN to a dealership; their system can retrieve the exact color code. When purchasing touch-up paint, never rely solely on product descriptions – always match the factory code, or the repair will stand out glaringly in sunlight. Remember to clean the identification plate during car washes, as grease obscuring the code can be problematic.
