1974 Volkswagen Dasher Touch Up Paint (7 OEM Colors)

Use the paint code from the Volkswagen Dasher label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

For the Volkswagen Dasher, start with the make-specific code guidance: 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. If the label is missing, ask a dealer parts department for a VIN lookup before ordering paint.

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Volkswagen Dasher. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

For Volkswagen Dasher repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
