I have a '98 Passat 1800 (20v). I've had to get a new wing mirror cover which came a standard black colour therefore required painting. Now to my eyes my car is a reddish colour, the official code being LB2Z which is listed as "Orange Gold" plus as i could not find that colour at my local car paint stockist, where can I get it and is it the correct colour? Can anyone help?

LB2Z - Gold orange metallic

Your handy local dealership would be able to help, failing that, have a look around Halfords.

Any good bodyshop should be able to get it and paint the part for a few quid.

My brother paid £20 (from memory) for his replacement petrol flap to be painted.

I've posted this link into one of the general discussion forums but this should help.

The colour code given is "U3" and the paint code is "B2Z"

Hope this helps,

Good man Pat! Thanks for the link, found out my car is actually "sherry pearl" and not "orange gold" after all, problem solved!
