I have a black 1997 8v GTi, did this come in more than one black or is that enough info to get the code?
I know there is a lot of info here already about it, but I'm having trouble as there is no sticker in the boot, I dont have the manual, and its had a reg change as its imported from northern island so it isnt on some databases
cheers :)

Think there were more than one black?
Got any pics of your car? I should be able to tell!
There was a paint code thread on here somewhere but im useless!
I'm sure el Wayne will be along to sort you out ;)

if its metallic then it's lc9z black magic
(although there are about 4 different shades to that dependent on year but only 1 colour code!!)

Pretty much what i was thinking :afro:

So how do I get a match if theres 4 shades of the same code?! I got some morettes plus other bits and pices to spray
Heres an old pic but the colours the same :P

Looks the same as mine which was LO41 non met Black
Just check and see if it is non met.

Looked at the sticker in the wheel well in the boot?That (if still there) will tell you your paint code. :smiley:

sorry to ressurect an old(ish) thread, but just found out the code is LC9Z which is black magic metallic. Doesn't look very metallic to me though I'm no expert!
I don't know much about it tbh, would it of faded or anything over the years causing it to look non met? and would spraying it in new paint make the new areas look brighter/shinier that the original paint?

LC9Z is black magic met, to get areas touched in could lead to a mismatch tbh. :smiley:
