Volkswagen Coupe Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volkswagen kept the palette tight for the Coupe, recording a focused lineup of 9 colors. They leaned heavily into the "refined-yet-sporty" vibe, offering classics like Tornado Red and Alpine White, alongside some sophisticated choices like the deep Oceanic Blue Metallic and the crisp Zermatt Silver Metallic. Whether yours is a bright statement piece or a stealthy metallic cruiser, the factory colors were designed to highlight those sharp body lines.

What to Watch For

If you're hunting for your paint code, head straight for the trunk. You're looking for a white paper sticker tucked under the carpet, usually right next to the spare tire well or stuck to the underside of the trunk lid. If the sticker has vanished over the years, check the first few pages of your original maintenance booklet in the glove box.

Reality check: If you're driving a Tornado Red model, you probably know it has a habit of turning "Tornado Pink" if left in the sun too long. Also, keep a close eye on the very front edge of the roof-just above the windshield. That's a prime target for tiny rock chips that can lead to early peeling if they aren't sealed up quickly.

Driveway Repair Tip

When using a touch-up pen or brush, the secret is in the "shake and wait." For metallic shades like Graphite Black or Titian Red, those tiny flakes love to settle at the bottom. Shake your bottle for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired-to ensure the sparkles are evenly distributed.

When you go to apply the paint, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you put too much on at once, it'll look like a blob. Instead, dab a tiny amount in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and come back for a second layer. Think of it like building a tiny Lego tower rather than pouring concrete. Patience here turns a "visible fix" into a "where did that chip go?" success.
