id suggest you phone up vw as, although mine is black magic pearl, it was a different code due to the amount of flakes in it or something :shocked:

It should give the paint code code in the service manual or a sticker in the door frame b pillar. Heres a site that has loads of information on all years of all golfs. Click on Double Wobder, then golf 3 on the left, then scroll down to finishes.

If the link doesn't work its because of the google translation. German language site is
