Volkswagen Touran Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Volkswagen really leaned into the "family adventurer" vibe with the Touran, recording 20 different colors over the years. They gave us everything from the sophisticated Black Magic Pearl and Platinum Gray Metallic to some surprisingly bold choices like Amazonasgreen and Red Spice. Whether your Touran is a subtle silver or a standout green, it's clear they wanted this practical hauler to have a bit of personality.
What to Watch For
While Volkswagen paint is generally sturdy, the Touran has a few "favorite" spots for wear. Keep a close eye on the areas around the door handles and the edges of the wheel arches, as the paint here can sometimes develop small bubbles over time. Also, because the Touran has such a tall, flat front end, it's a magnet for stone chips. To find your specific color code, skip the engine bay-you'll usually find it on a white paper sticker tucked under the trunk carpet near the spare tire well, or occasionally on the inside cover of your service logbook.
Driveway Repair Tip
When you're using a touch-up pen or brush on those front-end stone chips, remember that Volkswagen's metallic and pearl finishes (like Reflex Silver or Indigo Blue) are packed with tiny flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that paint for a full two minutes-even when your arm gets tired-to ensure the color stays consistent. If you're filling a deep chip, don't try to do it in one big "blob." Apply one thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. Getting a flush finish requires patience, but it's the secret to making that chip disappear into the background.
