Paint Code, Is this some kinda stupid rare colour for a MK3??!?!

[CJA321]

I know its in the boot, but am i right in thinking its LC7V?

Just couldnt see it on bradleys webpage...

And finding similar paints to mine... but differant codes

I'm on a poorly set up monitor at the moment, is that grey or blue in your signature pic?

Looks grey to me.

[thai-wronghorse]

In that case it'll either be Storm Grey (LK7Y) or pearl grey (LA7U)

If the sticker isn't in the boot you may be able to find another sticker inside your VW service booklet if you have it.

Its grey, but only thing is paintcode says its LC7V....

i must be wrong... Halfrauds come up with that paintcode thou, and say its anthracite grey?

[CJA321]

Ok... So just discovered my Paint ins't actually Grey... As it looks 

Its actually "Blue Anthracite, Pearl" Paint code - L C7V This was from Chassis number at Local vdub Garage.

Now, iv searched etc, and Looked at BoneyBradleys excelant MK3 Website, And on the paint section this code isnt actually listed for any MK3 of any age. (As far as i can see anyway...)

So its making it hard to find any kind of direct replacemant pannels...... Is there actually that much differance to this colour and Pearl Grey?!?! 

Can kinda see a blue tinge in these photos

[thai-wronghorse]

Hmm yeah, it does look bluer in those pics. I've not seen that colour before.

*Facepalm*

I'm pretty sure it's same paint code as mine. Mine looks more purple blue than grey though

mauve or puce I would say!

If you have the paint code correct Halfords will mix it for you!
And they always drop the L so there codes start with the second letter.
