Volkswagen ID Buzz Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Volkswagen really leaned into the retro-futurism with the ID. Buzz, giving us a palette of 10 colors that feel like a summer vacation on wheels. They definitely "went for it" with high-energy shades like Pomelo Yellow Metallic and Florida Beach Blue. Whether yours is rocking the classic Candyweiss or the deep, moody Starlight Blue, these colors are designed to stand out-which is great until you notice your first stone chip staring back at you like a tiny, unwanted passenger.

What to Watch For

Now, here is the honest truth: the ID. Buzz has a face that is essentially a giant, vertical billboard for road debris. Because that front end is so tall and flat, it's a bit of a magnet for gravel. Owners have noted that the factory clear coat can be a little on the softer side, and those chips often go "straight to black," showing the dark primer underneath your bright Energetic Orange or Candyweiss.

Before you start your repair, you'll need your paint code. Don't go looking in the door jamb just yet-Volkswagen likes to hide the ID. Buzz treasure map. Pop the rear hatch and look for a white paper sticker in the luggage compartment, usually tucked away on a side panel or under the floor carpet near where you store your charging cables. Look for a 4-digit code like LA7C or LB9A.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these modern VW shades-like Indium Grau and Bay Leaf Green-rely on heavy metallic flakes to get that shimmer, your bottle of touch-up paint is your best friend, provided you treat it right. Shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds before you open it; you want to wake up all those metallic sparkles so they don't just sit at the bottom of the tube.

When you're filling in a chip, remember that "less is more." Instead of trying to fill the whole crater with one big, gloppy drop, use the tip of the brush or a toothpick to apply two or three very thin layers. This requires a little patience, but it prevents the paint from sagging. If you have a metallic color, those light layers also help the tiny flakes lay down flat so the repair catches the light just like the rest of your van. You've got this!
