How to find your Volkswagen paint code
Check the sticker in your service book or trunk/boot area for your paint code, listed alongside other vehicle data.
Can't find it? Call Volkswagen dealer center service/parts department, ask for color code & provide VIN. Still can't figure it out? Select "Other" at checkout and add your car's registration number (XX-1234) to the order notes. We'll look it up in the database (Latvian clients). When ordering tri-coat color code, order additional spray paint can for effect layer.
How much paint do you need?
One spray can covers approximately 1 m² (about one car door, one wing/fender, or one sill). As a rough guide:
- Door, wing/fender, sill: 1 spray can each
- Front or rear bumper, boot/trunk lid: 2 spray cans each
- Full roof or full bonnet/hood: 3 spray cans
Coverage varies depending on the actual car size & tone of paint. Treat these numbers as estimates. If painting larger parts, you will need additional small spray kits (paint and clearcoat).
Spray paint application: key tips
Environment you'll need
- A dust-free work area
- Temperature of at least 15°C (59°F)
- Good lighting
- Roughly 4 hours of free time up to a full day, depending on the condition of the part
- PPE safety (respirator & gloves)
Tips and tricks
- Sand in a cross pattern: two strokes up and down, then two strokes left and right, and repeat. Avoid sanding in only one direction; this prevents deep grooves from forming.
- Matte (scuff) and degrease the surface during preparation, even when it only needs repainting (no sanding or filling) and is already in good condition.
- Place aerosol cans in water at about 50°C (122°F) before use to increase the pressure inside the can. This produces a more even, higher-quality spray. Do not put in hotter water, as the increase in pressure can cause issues to the aerosol!
- Start spraying just off the edge of the part, then move the spray onto the surface without releasing the trigger. The first burst of pressure from any aerosol spits out droplets rather than an even mist. Shake every aerosol can for 3–5 minutes before use.
- Read the instructions on your specific clearcoat, primer, rust converter, and paint before use. Drying times vary by product.
- Prime only the damaged area where possible. Apply paint slightly beyond that area, but clearcoat the entire part/panel to avoid a visible line where the clearcoat starts and stops. If not possible, you will need to sand with P3000 and polish the faded part of clearcoat.
Distances and timing
(verify against your specific product; this varies by manufacturer)
-
Rust converter: 25–30cm from the part, 3–6h between coats (depending on the product), 2–3 coats. 24h cure recommended after the final coat.
-
Primer: 25–30cm from the part, 15 min between coats, 2–3 coats (until evenly covered). 1h after the final coat.
-
Paint: 25–30cm from the part, 15 min between coats, 2–3 coats (until evenly covered). 1h after the final coat.
-
Clearcoat: 15–20cm from the part, 15 min between coats, 2–3 coats (until an even, glossy finish; avoid overspraying, which causes drips/runs). Safe to drive after 12 hours of last coat. Should wait 1 week at 15°C (59°F) to polishing / washing. Fully dried after 1-2 weeks.
