    Volkswagen car paints

    I'm after the right paint to use for some touch-ups for my candy white Mk3 - colour coded LB9A. I've tried Super Cheap and all that, but they don't have the exact paint. Where else can I go?

    Main dealer would be your best bet, you dont want to buy some touch up and find out its not exact......it might cost you a bit more but at least you know your getting the exact VW colour!

    i need some too...let me know how you get on..

    I'm pretty sure that I can mix it for you at work (will check on saturday), but i dont know the legalities of sending paint via auspost.

    It would be classed Flammable or if not flammable it would be classed Toxic lol
    I doubt it would get too far in the post

    I agree with Pommy unless you can pay a visit to BlackVr6ix

    Thats what i was thinking, if you find that it can be sent via aus post and i have a valid mix for your paint code. i can mix 100ml tins of paint for about $12 + postage (or pickup)

    My car's rusting I'll be trying to fix it up before the Nats hopefully so I'll need the paint now! I was hoping for another solution, but I suppose with the dealer, I won't go wrong. Thanks for the offer BlackVr6ix; if I was living in Melbourne then I would definitely go to you, but I'd rather just pick it up myself!

    Bottom door sills, 3 out of 4 One side is being eaten out pretty badly, whereas the other sides are just beginning. All are under the seal. Wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for a great big stain I found when cleaning the car up. Hit me right in the gut when I first saw it.

    go to RPM spares at penshurst.its on Forest rd.Google them and call,ask for Theo(the owner) and tell him I referred you for a discount.
    dont forget that paint fades,as I have found out(doing some fixing up as well!! thats why the sprayers blend a colour to get that even finish.ive also found a REALLY good spray painter if you need one.
    pm me if you need any more details.
