Polo Paint codes

Post by P mk4 »

This is really bugging me as i bought reflex silver for my gti butttttt some people say that it is satin silver :s but vw say they only did them in one colour which was reflex. I sprayed my front bumper reflex silver and it is miles out compared to the rest ? :(

HELP :)

If you've got the sticker in the wheel well is should list paint code which you can then look up.

I think VW had a couple of different shades of one of the silvers with the same name.

My mates gti is satin silver. It's a W reg and is deffinatly yellow compared to my blueish/purplish paint. As already mentioned you can find the code in your wheel well. But also your service book, as well as looking your VIN number up at VW

Reflex is LA7W should be something like (off the top of my head)
And satin is LB7Z or something like that. - but don't hold me to it ;)
