Getting the GF's Mk2 Golf GTi 8v resprayed after last summer's little bump with a Jag XK8 but I need to find the paint code. I suspect it's Atlas Grey but I need to be sure - Googling has turned up a load of Yank sites but they may have different colours (colors?!) over there. Does anyone know where to look?

there will be a tag under the bonnet on the slam panel or in the door jamb on a sticker. "Farbe" is German for "colour" IIRC so the code after that is the paint code.

The paint code will be on a sticker in the boot.

Thanks for the replies! However, this now means digging through endless tat in the boot of her car... AK, if you find the time to dig out that CD that would be great

a white paper sticker should be on the nsr wing or on the boot floor.down the left hand side in small print on about the third or fourth line dowwn it will say 'laquer' and next to it will be hopefully p7v or lp7v which iirc is the code for atlas grey metallic and no i'm not an anorak both my gti's were atlas grey.

Wow that's a good site. Looking at the paint colours listed on there, it could only be Atlas Grey. I'll double check on the actual car but it looks more than likely. Thanks again fellas

Should be on a white label in the boot or stuck to the inside of the back panel between the light clusters. VW codes were usually 2 letters, 1 number then another letter - i.e L A 3 Y
