Volkswagen Lapiz Blue (LD5K/L9) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the uniform of the Golf R and the punchy Polo. It signals performance the moment it hits the light. When people see this blue on the road, they know the car has an attitude. It is deep, vivid, and carries a presence that basic blues cannot match. Since your car has likely spent time on the highway, you have noticed how this shade highlights every curve of the bodywork while unfortunately acting as a magnet for road debris.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish packed with tiny particles that create a sense of depth. The reality of this paint is that it is soft. If you look closely at your front bumper, you probably see tiny white dots where the blue has chipped away to reveal the primer. These metallic flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them into the liquid, your repair will look like a dark, flat smear that fails to catch the sun.

Best Practices

You will find your code on a white paper sticker located in the trunk well, usually near the spare tire or under the carpet. Before you spray or dab Volkswagen Lapiz Blue (check for code LD5K/L9), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. You must get those metal particles suspended to get an accurate match. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flakes are appearing. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Apply thin layers and give each one plenty of drying time before you decide to add more.
