Your Paint Color Profile

LR1X/6T - Kurkuma Yellow Metallic

The Look

This is the turmeric-inspired gold that defined the launch of the Arteon and the early years of the Atlas. It is a bold choice that shifts from a deep mustard in the shade to a brilliant gold under direct sunlight. Since your car has likely been on the road for a few years, you might see how this paint handles the light better than standard flat colors. It is a signature look that demands attention.

Technical Details

You are working with a complex metallic finish. This means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that provide its characteristic shimmer. If these flakes settle unevenly, you get dark spots or stripes known as mottling. It is important to maintain a steady flow so the metal particles distribute themselves in a flat, even layer. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the color will appear darker than the rest of the panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Volkswagen Kurkuma Yellow Metallic (check for code LR1X/6T), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute. You can find this code on the data sticker located in your spare tire well or the inside cover of your maintenance book. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to verify the match. Keep the container moving at all times to ensure the flakes lay flat. Work in a garage or under a shade to keep the surface cool, which helps the drying time stay predictable.

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.
