Hi,
Does anyone know the correct name and colour code if possible for this Polo '98 CL.
I went to Halfords to get some paint for touching up a scuff on the bumper but they were'nt able to find the colour.
Sorry photo's not that great.

if you look in the boot of the car they should be a sticker stuck to the back of the boot and the paint code is on that mate.....

Don't buy touch up paint from Halfrauds - it's rubbish and never matches - get some ordered at you local VAG dealer - it might be a tad more expensive and you might have to wait a week for it but at least it matches
PS you can get it in spray cans too

How much do you reckon a spray can of paint will cost from a VW dealer?
Cheers Metz and Raz for the advice also.
Thanks, Mo

12 quid or thereabouts for a can of pearlescent spray and a can of laquer - it's only about 150ml in each can tho - so watch out!
not sure how much the non-metallic colours are.
my dad got a can of spray mixed up by a local motor factors, for his T5 van, and said it was spot on. you could investigate that.

Yep hes right ..mate bought vw alpine white and its more like ford glacier or whatever its called..the fact that it has white in the name is the closest it gets to matching.

I bought Candy white and it's close to old english - miles out - I've bought other colours before and they were just as rubbish - why don't I learn!!!
