Your Paint Color Profile

LA3W/K7 - Red spice

The Look

You likely have this color on a mid-2000s Jetta or a Touran. It is a refined, warmer alternative to the bright racing reds Volkswagen usually offers. While it lacks the loud punch of a GTI color, it carries a deep, mature glow that fits the lines of the A5-platform Jetta well. Since your car has been on the road for quite some time, you might notice the original finish has shifted slightly due to sun exposure, so matching the depth of the shine is your main goal.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny flakes that create a shimmer in direct light. Metallic paints are prone to mottling, where the flakes bunch together and create dark splotches or stripes. This happens when the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. If the metal flakes do not land evenly, the repair will look like a different shade of red when you view it from an angle.

Best Practices

Find your specific code on a white paper sticker located in the spare tire well or under the trunk carpet. Before you spray or dab Volkswagen Red spice (check for code LA3W/K7), you need to shake the container for a full sixty seconds to get those metallic flakes off the bottom. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your current level of aging. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving in steady passes to prevent the metal from pooling. Once the color is down and the drying time has passed, you must apply a clear coat to protect the flakes and restore the factory gloss.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Volkswagen's Color Code

Volkswagen paint codes can be difficult to find. Most are located around the spare tire area, printed on a paper color id tag that is guaranteed to fall off and disappear just when needed; not on a metal plate in the driver door jamb. Typical format: LD7X/2R (two codes: LD7X and 2R). LD7X corresponds to Platinum Gray Metallic Clearcoat; 2R is also used for the same color. Really old Volkswagen can be nearly impossible to figure out.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
