Volkswagen Up Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Volkswagen Up might be a small city car, but it didn't shy away from some heavy-hitting shades. With 4 total colors recorded, Volkswagen kept it punchy. You've got the classic Candy White for that clean, minimalist look, the sophisticated Deep Black Pearl and Carbon Steel Grey Metallic for a bit of "grown-up" shine, and then there's Cornflower-which sounds more like something you'd find in a boutique garden than a parking lot, but it definitely gives the car its own personality.

What to Watch For

The Up is a fun little runabout, but it does have one sensitive spot: the clear coat is notoriously soft. Owners often find that environmental hazards-especially bird droppings-can etch into the surface faster than you can say "car wash." If you see a mark, don't panic; it just needs a little TLC. To find your specific color match, check the driver's side door frame or look under the spare tire cover in the trunk. Volkswagen usually hides a sticker there with a code like "LB9A" or "LC9X."

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using a touch-up pen on those Deep Black Pearl or Carbon Steel chips, remember that "patience is a power tool." These colors have tiny metallic flakes that need to be evenly distributed. Shake your paint bottle for at least 60 seconds-yes, actually time it-to wake up those sparkles. Apply the paint in thin, dainty dabs rather than one big glob. If the chip is deep, let the first layer dry for 20 minutes before adding a second. It's better to build up the height slowly than to have a "mountain" of paint sitting on your hood.
