ARGH! Paint code

Post by 64 SPLIT »

Hi all -
Figured I might get a little more luck here than through my local VW dealers. I ordered myself a new Scirocco just over a week ago in Sumatra metallic and have also ordered some new 19" alloys to fit (I'm not a great fan of the standard ones). I'm wanting to get the centres of the new wheels sprayed to match the body.
The bodyshop contacted me to let me know my wheels had arrived and what the paint code is. So I rang VW and asked them - and was told by the parts dept. that they don't have a 'Sumatra Metallic' on their systems - despite the fact that there's a colour chip board up in the showroom with a postcard sized 'sumatra metallic' option?!!
So does anyone out there have a Sumatra metallic Scirocco or can anyone tell me the code so I can give it to the bodyshop? :?

yep - that's Sumatra - a kinda gunmetal grey, I noticed on the German brochure the paint colour seems to be called 'Dark Maroon Metallic' - which you can just about read on the sign next to the one in the link. Quite why they need two separate names for the same colour for different countries?! :shrug:

That must be it then! Thanks very much for that - the parts guy kept saying Berryllium Grey but I was positive it wasn't that.

Berryllium Grey is what the UK brochure calls Pewter grey.
