Title: Replacing doors & slight colour differences
Post by: skcollob_ho on 19 August 2011, 10:17

Hi.

I am going to be replacing two N/S doors on my mk4 soon, and the paint code is LA1W - Storm Beige.

I know there is likely to be [at best] a slight difference in the colours, but I was wondering if there will be any easy fix to get the colours matched close enough not to notice, should there be too much difference.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Michael

All you can do is have the side of the car painted out, however, if the new doors, and your front wing, and rear 1/4 panel, are all still wearing the factory applied paint, there is a very good chance that it'll match...
Best of luck
