Title: Paint Pen/stick...
Post by: ara on 20 May 2008, 07:55

Sorry guys, a real numpty question.

I'm looking to get a touch up paint stick and want to know the exact colour of the car.  It's a silver 2000 Mk4 Gti-T. i.e. what variation/name of silver.

Again apologies for the numpty question.

Cheers

There where two types of silver, Satin and Reflex. The reflex is more metalicy than the satin, if that makes sense.

satin silver is like the pearl colour, reflex is the lighter sharper silver

Well done Ash, you did a better job of describing it than I did. I was thinking about how to explain the diffrence but came up with nothing lol.

Didn't Satin stop in 2001 and change to Reflex?

I was thinking something along these lines but wasn't sure so didn't say anything,

to answer the OP's question - look for the sticker in the spare wheel well - should be a 4 digit code for the paint

alternatively take your chassis number to the dealers and they should be able to provide you with the exact shade - the codes maybe the same but sometimes you can get slightly different shades meaning a poor colour match
