Where to find Volkswagen color code

How to Find Your Volkswagen's Color Code

Volkswagen paint codes can be difficult to find. Most are located around the spare tire area, printed on a paper color id tag that is guaranteed to fall off and disappear just when needed; not on a metal plate in the driver door jamb. Typical format: LD7X/2R (two codes: LD7X and 2R). LD7X corresponds to Platinum Gray Metallic Clearcoat; 2R is also used for the same color. Really old Volkswagen can be nearly impossible to figure out.

Your Paint Color Profile

Sapphire Blue Pearl

The Look

This color captures a specific moment in Volkswagen history when the brand moved toward a more premium, sophisticated palette for its family fleet. If you are driving a Tiguan or a Touran from this era, you know that this blue transforms depending on the light. In the shade, it looks like a deep, understated navy, but direct sunlight pulls out a hidden depth that highlights the curves of your car. Since your vehicle has been facing the elements for over fifteen years, you are likely dealing with some road rash or light scratches that have dulled that original luster. Touching these spots up will bring back the cohesive, high-end feel that defined the late 2000s VW aesthetic.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it is more complex than a standard solid paint. Instead of just pigment, it contains tiny mica particles that reflect light. This creates a beautiful glow, but it also means you have to be careful during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in one go, the pearl flakes will sink and bunch together, causing the repaired area to look darker or cloudier than the rest of the panel. You want to build the color in thin, patient layers to keep those particles suspended evenly. Because this is a pearl, a clear coat is mandatory to protect the flakes and provide the final glossy reflection.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Volkswagen Sapphire Blue Pearl (check for code LC5C/7Z), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the mica is fully integrated. You can find your paint code on a white paper sticker located in the trunk, typically near the spare tire well or tucked under the carpet. Always test the color on the included card to see how the pearl settles before moving to the actual car. When you begin, keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow and prevent the pigment from pooling. Work in your garage or in the shade so the drying time remains predictable and the paint has a chance to level out properly.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Volkswagen Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Volkswagen's color code is 'LC5C/7Z', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Volkswagen, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
