Your Paint Color Profile

LH6Z/3T - Deep Sea Teal Metallic

The Look

This maritime hue was the signature for the 2018 Beetle Coast edition, a special model that celebrated surf culture and seaside adventures. Since it was only produced for a single year, your car wears a rare piece of modern Volkswagen history. It is a complex blend that leans toward a dark ocean green, providing a retro feel that matches the surfboard-inspired interior of that specific trim.

Technical Details

The finish is a metallic, which means it contains flakes designed to reflect light and create depth. These particles can be stubborn. If they are not distributed across the surface, you might notice dark patches or stripes in the finish. To avoid this, you must maintain a consistent flow and ensure the metallic flakes do not settle at the bottom of the container during application.

Best Practices

You can verify your color on the factory sticker located under the trunk carpet in the spare tire well. Before you spray or dab Volkswagen Deep Sea Teal Metallic (check for code LH6Z/3T), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to suspend the metallic particles. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your panel before you begin. Whether you are using a pen or a can, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. If you are working in a garage or the shade, allow for extra drying time between thin layers to ensure the metallic finish sets.

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.
