Volkswagen’s vehicle-data sticker is the best starting point when you need the factory paint reference. Check the actual code before choosing a white, silver, grey or black from a screen.
Volkswagen UK says the paint code is on the vehicle-data sticker, usually inside the service-book cover. Another copy may be on the boot floor under the carpet or liner. Check the information for your model; newer or previously repaired vehicles may not have the paper record you expect.
Use existing access to inspect the label. Do not remove fixed trim or damage a label to find it. If the sticker is absent or unreadable, contact a Volkswagen retailer with your vehicle details.
The sticker can contain a VIN, model details, trim information and many equipment references. Copy the paint reference exactly and photograph the complete label so our team can check the context. Do not choose a code simply because it has the right number of characters.
| What you find | Next step |
|---|---|
| A clear paint reference | Supply it with the vehicle details and retain a label photograph. |
| Two colours or a separate trim reference | Explain which panel or trim part you are repairing. |
| Only a broad registration colour | Ask for matching help; “GREY” is not a factory formula. |
| No sticker | Use a Volkswagen retailer or model-specific owner information to confirm the original code. |
The original reference does not record a later respray or replacement bumper. Mention previous work even if the car still looks broadly the same colour. Body paint also does not automatically identify alloy-wheel or trim paint.
If you order by registration, the vehicle check supplies vehicle information and our team identifies the colour afterwards. Include any known code rather than treating the lookup’s broad colour as a final match.
For a few chips on a Golf, Polo or another VW, a fine-tip pen or brush bottle may be the suitable format. A larger spray repair needs wider preparation and a complete coating system.
Browse our Volkswagen paint colours once the paint reference is confirmed. Check the full listing rather than selecting the nearest screen swatch. If you have a two-tone vehicle, identify which body section you are repairing.
TPS, part of Volkswagen Group UK, provides a paint-code lookup for Volkswagen Group UK vehicles. Its result is a guide to the original body colour; TPS says the colour must still be checked before application. It does not describe an undocumented respray or automatically identify a wheel finish.
If a catalogue reference differs from the sticker, keep both references and ask before ordering. Send a clear image of the whole sticker and a close-up of the paint field to our paint team.
Choose the products that suit the damage and coating system. Pack contents vary; compare the current paint packs before ordering.
