COLOR CODELA4B - Medium blueVolkswagen Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Since your Polo hit the road in 2022, it has carried a shade that balances modern sophistication with a classic European feel. This color is not a loud, neon blue that demands attention from every passerby. Instead, it offers a deep, rich tone that makes the compact lines of your car look more expensive than the window sticker suggested. Because this was a specific choice for a short production window, keeping the finish crisp is the best way to maintain the value and character of your vehicle.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which gives the car its depth but also presents a specific challenge for your repair. Those tiny metallic flakes give the paint its shimmer, but they are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you apply the paint too thick, the flakes will bunch up and create dark, muddy patches that look like shadows on the door. You want the light to hit those flakes evenly, so focus on thin layers rather than trying to hide the scratch in one go.

Best Practices

You can locate your identification sticker in the trunk area, typically under the carpet near the spare tire well or printed on a label in your service book. Before you spray or dab Volkswagen Medium blue (check for code LA4B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This physical mixing is the only way to get those metallic particles off the bottom and into the flow of the paint. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shimmer looks uniform. When you move to the car, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give each layer enough drying time so the finish stays flat and the flakes stay exactly where you put them.
