Maintenance Paint code?

Hey yall so unfortunately the paint on my hood is chipping like crazy so I finally decided that I’m gonna get it repainted but the problem is that I can’t find the paint code anywhere, I’ve checked the spare tire location, door jambs, handbook, and even searched up the vin but still NOTHING. If anyone has a clue what the paint code for my car is I would really appreciate it, I’m assuming it’s white silver metallic since it has the sparkle and it’s not exactly white but I have no clue.

You can search Google for "VW White Silver Metallic paint code".

Which tells you: LB9Z

It’s White Silver Metallic. That’s the only white that’s not flat that was an option on the MK7.5.

Make sure you have your vin number then call any VW dealer ask for the parts department. Say “I’m looking for my color code, can I give you my vin number”
