Paint Code/Colour MK2 Golf 1990

Hi guys and girls



1st post here so be gentle



i have a silver mk2 golf that has some rust in places that i want to
take care of asap and also spray my mirror backs in the same colour,
just to make it look a bit more up to date and cleaner



its a silver colour, and theres tons of silvers about for vw's i have found!



where can i find the colour code? ive looked under the bonnet where the vin is and no joy unless im totally missing it



heres a pic of my cars rear, see if ne one can tell me what colour it is purely from a pic!



any help appreciated



cheers

in side the boot there should be a sticker, paint code will be on it. shoudl also bein the service hostory book, if you have it.

 

just on the back side and left a bit of the rear VW emblem

i would guess LP7V Diamond silver... or the one a bit darker than that

 

can i interest you in some diamond silver big bumpers, colour coded number plate plinth and spoiler?

- or perhaps a silver debadged jetta front? (see sig)

lol

a guy with a 5 door version of my car had the code in the paint codes thread



looked in teh handbook i have here for my car and ive got it! didnt know what i was looking for at first but i have it now



its LD7V Silver Grey Metallic! although its nothing like metallic haha!



question now is where do i get it from! an aerosol can of it is preffered



Sean

 

Hi sean u can get aerosol from dealers.ive got an 8v same colour and the dealers charged about 9 quid per tin.u also get a tin of clear varnish with it.hope this helps.

 

Love that colour, my old Golf was the same!

 

you mean laquer

 

you love the silver colour? eeek i bloody hate it think i only hate it
though because some old codger decided to repair it himself and never
laquered it and some little buggers have put absoloutly massive
scratches on my roof very deep and very long



Sean

 

My golf is that colour. Looks very nive when clean, but god awfull when dirty

 

CLEAN silver mk2s look fab. particularly on ronal turbos.

(in my opinion)

 

CLEAN silver mk2s look fab. particularly on ronal turbos


I have a Silver Mk2 with ronal tubos & yes it does look nice

I had the same problem and this thread solved it, I also had the exact same paint code found, yes you guessed it, in the boot to the left of the VW badge!!!!

Thanks guys!
