Paint code help
« on: November 29, 2012, 04:00:40 pm »
I've had my reflex silver GTI for a few months now, when I bought it the 18" Monzas had been refurbished a dark grey metallic colour. Unfortunately my wife curbed one of the wheels and I've been trying to get a touch up stick to disguise the damage for the time being. The paint code I was given is LH7Z, I've tried 2 local main dealers but they can't find any information on the paint code even though it's a VW colour !
Anyone offer any help ?

Try Halfords, eBay (or as mentioned) and Amazon.

Thanks for the replies, I'd seen the paint on Amazon but any ideas why the dealers can't recognise the paint code, I'd rather get an original match if I can ?

unfortunately vw are right there is no paint code as that on ETKA, but there is a paint code for mountain grey metallic paint code LR7N 
Loads of extra's and retro fits.

Why not just try a local body shop, see if they will mix you you up small amount.
