jackvine 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Hi Just picked up a Maroon Corrado 16V yesterday, just looked at paint code its LB5V cant seem to find this listed ! When Ive done a search it comes back as a blue paint code ! So I suspect the car has been painted at some stage. Does anyone know the correct paint code for a Marron Corrado ? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted June 25, 2010 you checked the sticker in the boot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackvine 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Hi yes I ve looked in the boot and thats where I got the paint code from, the sticker looks original all the other details are correct but that colour does not seem to be listed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted June 25, 2010 can you post a pic of the boot sticker? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted June 25, 2010 Interesting... google says "KOMETEN BLUE LB5V" for that paint code. Comet Blue? Certainly was not a Corrado colour that I'm aware of.. wonder if it was some kind of special order?! Google Translator reckons that comes back as Stellar Blue and indeed seems right as I can find info on camper vans painted in that colour in the early 80's. Just wondering if the car is actually Maroon, whether it's just a misprint on the sticker? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackvine 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Ok once I can uploads the pictures I will post one of the car and the sticker. I've lifted the carpets and seems to be original colour unless the whole car was stripped and sprayed !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted June 25, 2010 Yeah - would be interesting to see the actual car to work out what it's likely to be! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackvine 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Sorry here are some links to the pictures http://gallery.me.com/jpbtechnology#100183/IMG_0546&bgcolor=black http://gallery.me.com/jpbtechnology#100183/IMG_0545&bgcolor=black Dont know if these picture will work! Ok perhaps Im stupid and reading the sticker wrong but the bit that says paint code def says LB5V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 25, 2010 Very strange - that looks very much like Dark Burgundy Pearl = LC3U Maybe a miss printed sticker perhaps - does it say the same in the service book? Maybe check with VW and see what they list it as on Dialogue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackvine 0 Posted June 25, 2010 just looked at the service book and found the sticker ! It does say LB5V but the dealer has written in pencil next to it LC3U ! mystery solved ! It was a misprint Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted June 25, 2010 Ah! Yeah - deffo looks like Dark Burgundy Pearl, no doubt about that. Weird that it was misprinted with that code though, given that the Corrado never came in that colour anyway. Anybody know if the Scirocco came with that paint code..?!

shaung60 0 Posted June 25, 2010 A lovely colour. And all credit to you for saving it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 3D1&_rdc=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted June 27, 2010 :lol: anyone know what P7Z is, metallic sort of browny red? P1010019_low.JPG[/attachment:30pddfvt] it's definitely LP7Z, the boot sticker and service book sticker say the same, can't find a reference to it on the web, only that it is a light grey metallic (see above), 1991 :scratch: this car is 1994 and has def never been that sort of colour.

davidwort 0 Posted June 28, 2010 bump, need to find this out as I need to order some paint... anyone? could it be this: Burgandy Pearl Effect - LC2U? DSC00130.jpg[/attachment:2gqs98dz] ^ Kris' car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted June 28, 2010 mystery solved: P1010043.JPG[/attachment:3ur7z10a] it appears that the forum, the CCGB website, and just about every other VW website quoting Corrado paint codes are wrong. For 1994 the code LP7Z is Sherry Pearl Metallic, not LC2U and not Light Grey Metallic either (see lists at top of thread) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 17, 2011 Thought I would resurrect this post, as others may have the same thing. My paint code in the boot and on the service book says LB5V. As the OP says, my service book also has a pencil amendment stating LC3U. Car in question is a 1990 KR. :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
