Volkswagen Paint Codes & Touch Up Paint Guide
Need your Volkswagen paint code? The best reference is the complete VW manufacturer paint code checked against the model and production year. If you cannot find it, enter the registration so the vehicle details can help identify the correct colour.
Where can I find my Volkswagen paint code?
Depending on model and year, the code can appear on the vehicle data sticker, manufacturer label or service information. Always record the full code.
Can I find VW paint by registration?
Yes. Registration lookup details can be used to narrow down the correct Volkswagen manufacturer colour when the physical paint-code label is unavailable.

Pen, bottle or spray paint?
Use a pen for chips and fine scratches, a 30ml bottle for larger controlled repairs, and a 400ml aerosol for bumpers and panels. Add primer or lacquer where required by the surface and paint system.
How do I avoid choosing the wrong VW colour?
Do not rely on the colour name by itself. Volkswagen can reuse similar names across different codes and production periods, so confirm the complete manufacturer code wherever possible.
