How to Find Your Volkswagen Sedan'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.

The Color Breakdown

Volkswagen didn't just pick a palette for the Sedan; they basically threw a party and invited every pigment on the planet. With a staggering 174 colors recorded, they really went for it. Whether your car is wearing the adventurous Bali Green, the high-energy Mars Red, or the unapologetically bright Signal Green, there is no shortage of personality here. From the earthy tones of Oregon Beige to the disco-ready Marathon Blue Metallic, Volkswagen ensured that no two driveways looked exactly the same.

What to Watch For

If you're looking at your VW and seeing a bit of "character" you didn't ask for-like fading on the hood or some light peeling around the roof edges-don't panic. These paints can be a little sensitive to the sun, especially the vibrant reds and blues, which tend to get a bit tired after a few years in the driveway. First things first: you need your paint code. It's usually playing hide-and-seek in the trunk. Check under the carpet or near the spare tire well for a white sticker with a code like "LA7W" or "LC9Z." If it's not there, give the driver's side door jamb a quick scan.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these Volkswagen colors (especially the metallics) have a lot of depth, your touch-up bottle is your best friend-but only if you wake it up first. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds (set a timer, your arm should get a little tired) to make sure those metallic flakes are evenly distributed. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." Instead of one big glob to fill a chip, dab on a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for twenty minutes, and then come back for a second pass. If you're working with a bright red like Iberian Red, remember that matching a sun-faded spot requires patience, so build your layers slowly until the depth looks just right.
