Evening all, need to touch up a couple of small bits of paintwork on my golf which I'm attempting myself. Can anyone tell me from the pic what the paint code/name is?

Might be better off asking on the VW section?

My guess is Atlas Grey.

Does it not say under the bonnet? Alternatively, go in to Halfords and they can get it off the reg.

Atlas grey! Probably no need to post this in the VW section, I'm sure that's what it is, just wanted to check first! Cheers pork!

Must say the paint code on the VIN plate?

I'm away from the car at the moment and wanted to get the paint ordered, I was certain it said atlas grey on a spec sheet that I've got with the cars history but that is with the car!

you do realise that picture will look a different shade depending on the monitor colour settings of every person who views it?

and VW probably do about 20 different shades of grey, depending on model/year etc....

I understand that, I think I knew it was atlas grey and was just looking for some assurance.

The paint code should be on a sticker on the boot floor, i know on the later VW, Audi's it is also in the service book.
