If there is a wrong color or code here please let me know so i can fix it.
based on tire rack and some other web pages for codes.
to find your paint code
Pull out the spare tire and look for the "toe tag", a sticker with your VIN and a bunch of 3 and 4 character codes. One of those codes is you paint color.


I hope you like it.

I went to the paint shop the other day and they said that, there were 2 blacks offered in my 01.5, i believed that it was the B5 black and the B5.5 black, so i aksed him to check for 02 since that would be the B5.5 black, after checking that he told me that there were still 2 blacks, a regular and a "pearl/mettalic"
Before i get my stuff painted i wanted to confirm that mine would be:LO41
TIA

What about Black Magic Pearl? It says Z4 for colorcode in the volkswagen finland site but I guess the code should have 4 digits/letters. Have to check from the trunk sticker when I have time.

EDIT: OK, I checked the code and it says LC9Z, but the color is positively Black Magic Pearl, not Black Magic, this is very confusing :???:
