How to find out the color of a VAZ car

The label with the body color number of domestic cars can be searched on the trunk lid, in the glove compartment, in the spare wheel niche near the spare wheel or under it, under the brake light on the spoiler. This simple piece of paper is called Form 3347. Sometimes it is difficult to find, easy to lose and easy to forget. Therefore, if it is found, champions recommend writing down the number and name of the paint with a marker on the inside of the gas tank hatch. If you have a used car, check if someone has already done it.

Please also note that the color code is also written in warranty card.

What else can be done to find out "what are my Zhiguli painted in?" As an option, this is to contact the dealer from whom you bought the car, which only works naturally if the dealer is a completely official organization.

If you do not have any documentary evidence indicating the color your car is painted, you can try to establish this using the LADA painting plan at the factory. To do this, you need to know the exact date (year, month, day +/-) of your car, and it must not be younger than 2005. If you know the date - write to us, we will try to find out the color of the car in this way.

However, the surest way to determine the color is to refer to colorist. And you can choose the right shade if you show the colorist the gas tank hatch, with the help of which a specialist on special equipment can make paint for you exactly in color and in the volume you need - tint, spray can or can. Actually, all this can be done in our laboratories for computerized paint selection.

How to find out VAZ (Lada) paint codes

The VAZ paint code must be known to all owners of domestic cars who decide to carry out local body repairs on their own. The site catalog contains aerosol paints and touch-up pencils with a brush in a wide range of shades, labeled according to the factory palette. With their help, you can easily cope with scratches and other defects in the paintwork, you just need to choose the color according to the code of your car.

Where are the VAZ (Lada) paint codes

In most new cars, the Lada paint code is located on the trunk lid. But this little piece of paper, called "form 3347", is very easy to lose over time. In addition, it can often be found in the glove compartment, next to the spare tire or at the brake light. For this reason, all new Lada owners are advised to rewrite the enamel marking, for example, on the inside of the gas tank cap, or keep the warranty card, in which it is also indicated.

If the number is irretrievably lost, you can always contact our managers who will help you determine the code according to the model and year of manufacture of the car. We also provide services for computer selection of enamel shade.

Sooner or later, many drivers have to paint the car body. The reason for this need may be an accident, abrasion of the old paintwork, color fading, multiple chips and scratches.

Most often, you need to paint only one or two parts of the vehicle, in most cases - the bumper and fenders. Then you have to find out the name of the paint that covered the car. The easiest way is to determine the paint code by the wine code, because it is almost impossible to do it by eye.

The principle and purpose of the VIN number

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or VIN - a unique vehicle code consisting of 17 Arabic numerals and Latin letters, except for O, Q, I (due to the similarity of the latter with numbers). It contains data on the main characteristics of the transport, its manufacturer, year of manufacture. In most cases, the VIN code can be seen on the body, chassis or in other places on specially made plates (nameplates).

Thanks to the VIN, you can find out important information about cars and other equipment. This information is entered into the traffic police database, as a result of which, during the inspection, the legality of the manufacturer is clarified, the car is excluded from being wanted, etc. Even the smallest factories mark vehicles with unique codes and enter numbers into special registers. For the driver, the presence of VIN allows you to find out the paint color of the car, if required.

VIN code decoding

The Vin code is a specific cipher. It consists of three groups of indicators:

1. International Manufacturer Index (WMI). The first digit is the area code of the manufacturing country, followed by 3 characters indicating the name of the manufacturer and the production department.
2. Description part (VDS). Five digits account for the description of the car - model, body type, transmission, engine, specification.
3. Distinctive part (VIS). The remaining characters (10-17) determine the year of manufacture, the serial number of the vehicle, the check digits.

The selection of paint according to the VIN code of the car is carried out according to the distinctive part of the information. The type of paint is indicated by sign number 10 (Y - plain, Z - metallic), then three characters (11-13) fall on a unique paint code (for example, 547). The last 4 digits of the control information encrypt the options for finishing the car, its interior, and the features of this configuration.

Thus, you can find all the information about the paint when buying, selling, repairing a car, and also find out if the vehicle has been repainted, whether it is a “designer”. An unknown VIN number can only be on vehicles over 30 years old - such marking was not practiced before.

VIN Location

To search for a Vin code, you must first determine exactly where the nameplate with the identification number is located. Traditionally, automakers attach it to the following places:

• trunk bottom;
• center pillar on the driver's side;
• a place under the driver or passenger seat;
• zone at the bottom of the windshield (in its left corner);
• below the front driver's door;
• under the hood.

There are other places for the location of the nameplate, which vary depending on the manufacturer. Below are the most popular manufacturers, car models and areas where you can see the VIN code:

• Volkswagen - under the spare wheel, in the trunk;
• Hyundai, Ford - on the driver's door, under the hood near the engine;
• Nissan - under the hood on the passenger side next to the windshield;
• Chevrolet - near the radiator, engine, near the windshield;
• Mazda - on racks, under the hood, on the front passenger door;
• KIA - in the opening of the driver's door;
• Great Wall - on the frame behind the rear right or left wheel.

A clear location for the location of the nameplate has not been established, so the manufacturer can change it at will. Moreover, cars of the same brand assembled at different factories can also have different VIN positions.

How to find out the paint color of a car by VIN code

In order to correctly select the paint number and order it from a dealer or a car repair shop, you must first identify the location of the Vin code. The unique paint code will hide information about the ratio of pigments that make up the enamel. For all manufacturers, except Ford, the code has a numeric value (for Ford, it has an alphabetic value). After a thorough inspection of the car, you need to write out the characters from VIN 10-14, which will be required later.

There are several ways to find out the color by code:

1. Internet information. Now there are many specialized sites that allow you to accurately decode the VIN. Thanks to them, you can clarify the paint code and make its selection for your car.
2. Dealer information. If the car is bought new or used, but in a car dealership, employees have the necessary information about the paint code. They will also help you find the Vin-code if you couldn’t do it yourself.
3. Technical certificate. According to this document, you can find out the name of the paint shade, but you will have to look at the exact code directly on the car.
4. Auto repair shop. Masters in tinting and painting machines themselves find information about the type, composition and color of the enamel before starting work.

Features of searching for a code in domestic cars

Difficulties with finding the Vin code for domestic cars usually do not arise. For most models, the data is hidden under the hood or on the trunk lid. As in conventional marking, there is information about a specific paint code, its brand. Do not be surprised if, after searching the Internet, a paint with a strange name (for example, "milky way") is found. There are catalogs of car enamels where you can order exactly the same paintwork material.

It should be noted that AvtoVAZ additionally indicates the paint code in the so-called form No. 3347. It is located in the glove compartment or is issued to the buyer when purchasing a new car. This greatly simplifies the selection of enamel for the vehicle.

Paint code for foreign cars

Difficulties with finding information can arise even at the stage of finding the location of the VIN. Since there are no uniform requirements for fixing a number in the world, it can be located anywhere. It is easier for those who buy new foreign cars - in the car dealership they will immediately indicate all the required information. The car owner does not have to study the “insides” of the car himself. Those who buy used cars often have a harder time.

First you need to look for the code on the door pillar, in the engine compartment. Usually foreign cars have large nameplates, which makes it easier to find. In different models of Honda, the color is even placed on a separate plate marked “color”. If necessary, you can go to the manufacturer's website and there ask a question about the position of the Vin code, indicating the model and year of its release.

other information

By VIN, you can find out whether the car has undergone major changes, whether it is a prefabricated model, which scammers often make money on. Control information helps to do this. Expensive brands even put a check digit, which will help to identify the fact of a fake.

In addition, according to the Vin code, it is easy to determine the type of body, engine, wheelbase, drive, transmission. These data are verified when the machine is registered. Thus, the VIN is the “fingerprint” of the car, which allows you to identify the main data and paint the body with a perfect result.

A large number of vehicles, roughness of the road surface, carelessness of the driver and other reasons may lead to the need to paint a car or a separate element.

To achieve the maximum similarity of the color coating of a used car, it is required to select the color of the car enamel before painting.

In what ways it is possible to select a shade of paint and whether it is possible to independently determine the color, knowing the VIN code of a motor vehicle, read on.

In what cases is it necessary

Determining the color of the car paintwork is necessary:

• if necessary, painting individual body elements restored after;
• in the presence of chips, cracks and other types of damage to the body. Timely painting protects the car body from premature corrosion and other negative consequences;
• if necessary, complete replacement of damaged body elements;
• if necessary, a complete repainting of the car without making the relevant registration documents.

Methods for determining

You can choose the color of car enamel on your own or with the assistance of qualified specialists.

The second selection method will be more reliable, since special equipment helps to choose a shade that is not only set by the car manufacturer, but also acquired as a result of natural wear and tear of the paintwork.

So, the selection of the color of car enamel can be done in one of the following ways:

• according to the individual VIN number, which is assigned to motor vehicles by the manufacturer;
• by contacting a repair organization involved, including paint and varnish work;
• from the car manufacturer (on the website or by personal contact by mail or online);
• through vehicle research.

Let's deal with each method in more detail.

By VIN code

The individual vehicle number assigned by the manufacturer (VIN number) consists of 17 characters.

The letters and digits of the code are arranged in a sequence determined by international and corporate standards.

The character set allows:

• determine the manufacturer and year of manufacture of the vehicle;
• find out the make and model of the vehicle;
• determine the main technical characteristics of the car.

By VIN number you can also get information:

• on the presence / absence of administrative sanctions imposed on the car;
• on the presence/absence of restrictions on registration actions;
• about the history of the car (the number and type of previous car owners and the time of the change of ownership);
• about finding the vehicle wanted;
• about the participation of the car in traffic accidents and so on.

In addition, the wine number makes it possible to select spare parts for the car, including the color of the car's enamel applied by the manufacturer.

To determine the color and other characteristics of the car, you must first find out directly the unique number of the vehicle.

You can do this in several ways:

• by car. A plate with an identification number on passenger cars is located on the windshield and the driver's door pillar, on a truck - on the driver's front door pillar and on the beam under the front wheel, on a motorcycle (scooter) - on the steering column tube;

Depending on the car model, information plates with the VIN number can be located in other places, for example, under the hood of the car, in the trunk, under the seat, and so on. You can clarify information about the location of the plates from the manufacturer or an official representative of the manufacturer.

• in vehicle documents. The identification number is indicated in and . Additionally, the motor vehicle code can be found from;

  

• online knowing the state registration plate of the vehicle. Information can be obtained on the RSA website by filling in the appropriate fields of the submitted form;
• in the traffic police (in person). Information is issued by state bodies upon prior request and only to a certain circle of persons, which includes vehicle owners, legal representatives of car owners, heirs, persons injured in a road accident, representatives of other government agencies, and so on.

A request for obtaining a VIN code is made in writing after the submission of the appropriate package of documents. The answer can be received in person, by letter sent by mail or online to the email address specified in the application.

Contacting a car repair shop

The most optimal way to select the tone of the paintwork for the car is to contact the auto repair shop. The company's specialists select the colors of car enamel on special equipment.

To do this, in addition to the documents for the car, which indicate the individual number, you will also need a certain part of the body (gas tank cap, trunk element, and so on), which is used to verify the tone currently available.



The selection process does not take much time. On average, it takes from 15 minutes to 1 - 2 hours.

The performance of this operation is paid additionally in accordance with the current tariff rates of the repair shop and the time spent on the selection of auto enamel.

From the automaker

You can choose the desired shade of car paint, and contact the manufacturer for help.

You can submit a request for color selection on the manufacturer's website online or by sending a letter by mail (the processing time for the request and waiting for a response increases).

The written request must include:

• make and model of the car;
• year of manufacture of the vehicle;
• complete set or VIN number;
• contact details (name, phone number, e-mail address).

Look at TS

Another way to obtain information about the paintwork applied to the car is to simply compare the body with the color scheme of the enamels.



This method allows you to accurately determine the body color obtained after using the car, and practically does not contribute to determining the color of the factory color.

The color of the car is also indicated in the title and registration certificate of the car, as it is one of the most common distinguishing features of vehicles.



The procedure for determining the paint number by the VIN number of the car

To determine the color by the VIN code of the vehicle, you can:

• contact specialists who will decrypt the serial number;
• carry out decryption work independently, for example, using special online programs that allow you to obtain the necessary data in the shortest possible time and at no additional cost.

The VIN code cipher can be obtained from various Internet resources, for example, on the autoDNA website.

For this you need:

• in a special form located on the website, enter the identifier and click "Check VIN". It is necessary to enter data very carefully, since an error in at least one character can lead to distortion of the information received;

  

• wait for the result of the check, which takes no more than 1 minute and find out the color of the vehicle.



It should be noted that the color corresponding to the VIN number of the car and the color obtained after using the vehicle for a certain period of time are slightly different from each other.

Therefore, for a more accurate selection of autoenamel, it is recommended to use other methods.



In this example, a 2000 Ford is painted Champagne silver, which corresponds to the number TH-114.

How to look online on the manufacturer's website

You can get information about the color of the paintwork online on the website of the vehicle manufacturer. To do this, the manufacturer is sent a written request online (via the "Ask a question" form).

To obtain reliable information in the request form, indicate (using the example of the manufacturer AvtoVAZ):

• subject of the request (required for the fastest possible processing of information by the company's specialists). To receive an answer about the tone of the car enamel, you must select the topic "Spare Parts";
• Name of the applicant;
• contact information (telephone, e-mail);
• region of residence of the car owner;
• vehicle model;
• VIN number of the car;
• the essence of the issue (for example, help choose the color of the paintwork).

In its original form, it is almost impossible. To do this, you have to close the car indoors and not even touch it. But even then, time will do its job. During normal daily use, vehicles are faced with various factors that can touch the paintwork. These are scratches, careless driving, chips from debris and pebbles on the road. Even fruits and berries falling on a car standing under a tree, due to the acid contained in them, can gradually. When small lesions appear, they can be ignored. And there are such defects, which are simply impossible not to notice. The cover needs to be restored.

Method for determining the paint number by VIN code.

But in practice, it turns out that choosing the perfect paint is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Outwardly identical colors when applied can. As a result, you can immediately see that the car is painted. Owners have to look for ways to solve this problem. And here many are interested in how you can find out the paint color of a car by its VIN code. A fairly effective way to find exactly the shade that the car was painted at the factory. Not everyone knows about this method, although it is considered the most correct one.


Why is it needed

A responsible car owner is always interested in maintaining the perfect appearance of his vehicle. This also applies to its technical condition. When a car gets into unpleasant situations like accidents, road accidents, runs into various obstacles, the appearance of the car deteriorates significantly. Even high-quality bodywork will not allow you to keep the paint layer in the form that it had before the accident. Needs to be repainted. Also, the paint can simply fade, wear off, scratches and chips periodically appear on the body. All this forces the owner to paint over defects. Sometimes only a small section of the body is processed. In other, more serious situations, it is necessary to carry out a full cycle of repainting the vehicle.

There is only one problem. It consists in how to choose the right paint. Yes, if this is a complete repainting, no one bothers to change the shade or even color. But with a partial restoration of the paint layer, a shade that exactly matches the rest of the body is needed. If you try to pick up paint by eye, about 90% of such attempts will lead to an error. It is important to understand that there can be a lot of outwardly identical colors. But many of them give slightly different shades after drying. As a result, in contrast to others, it becomes very noticeable.




Some do it differently. Often, car owners remove an element of the car, mainly a gas tank cap, and go to the store, comparing it with the offered paints. The method is not the worst, but even here there is a high probability of making a mistake when choosing. You can also refer to the technical documentation of the vehicle. Although often it indicates only a specific color without shades and any special codes. Still, we must not forget that one color has several dozen shades. Yes, and depending on the manufacturer of the paint, its texture may differ. It’s not worth giving up and buying the first jar that comes across. There is a great way to check and reliably find out the color number of a car using the VIN code.

VIN search

Before you can find out the color code for a suitable paint for a car, you will need to find the VIN itself. It is applied to special nameplates or plates, which are necessarily located on the vehicle. To fill in the nameplate, Latin letters and numerical designations are used. Here a lot depends on the specific automaker and even on the model, the year of its release. There are no strictly regulated requirements regarding the place to which all car companies are required to affix plates. Therefore, everyone chooses the site that is most convenient for him. Therefore, VIN codes are found on:

• racks from the driver's door;
• areas under the windshields of the car;
• right side of the engine compartment;
• floor under the passenger seats;
• luggage compartment lid;
• trunk bottom;
• the inner parts of the wings.

The application of information on the VIN-code plate is carried out by chasing or laser engraving. The second option is used on more modern cars, allowing you to create clear and hard to erase inscriptions on the nameplate. The number itself can be located in one or two rows.




Although each manufacturer determines the location of the code, it is impossible to hide them from the car owners themselves. Because they are all within reach. In rare cases, you have to dismantle something. Unless the driver has to move the mat or lift the engine compartment cover. All nameplates provided in the car must be registered in the technical documentation for the vehicle. The manufacturer is obliged to indicate exactly where the plates with the VIN code are located.

Search for paint color by VIN on foreign cars

The domestic automaker has provided a fairly simple layout for nameplates, which does not cause any problems for drivers when searching for a VIN code. With foreign cars, things are a little different. Finding out their identification numbers is sometimes much more difficult. For owners, the search turns into a real quest. Moreover, these excavations of the internal and external surfaces of the machine do not always end successfully. If you are interested in how you can find out the color of the paint used for a car by the VIN code, you need to start simple. Each paint has its own number. This is a kind of code that allows you to find out the characteristics of the paintwork material and the pigments used in its composition.




The main problem of foreign cars is that not everyone knows for sure how to correctly determine the color and specific shade of car paint using the VIN. And this is due to the different location of nameplates on foreign-made machines. Let's take a few illustrative examples.




Most Japanese cars use a separate line on the nameplates called Color, that is, the color. Here, a unique code is indicated by which you can find the paint. But it also happens that the inscription is missing. Then you should try to use special programs from the official automaker. Although information about all models is not always available in them. If for some reason you could not find the cipher in the VIN code, you doubt your decision, then contact the representatives of the car company that produced your car. This can be done over the phone or by sending an email. But it is better to call, because this way you can count on a faster response.

The task of the car owner will be to dictate the VIN code. The plate is easy to find, and therefore there will be no problems here. Specialists will decipher the VIN, and will soon give you the exact answer. This is a guarantee that you will buy a new paint for refurbishment that perfectly matches the color of your body. Automakers use the same colors when producing cars of different models.

The composition of the paint also changes over the years. A blue 2008 car is no longer likely to be painted the same color with the same pigments as a blue 2018 car. Therefore, it is best to determine the shade by a special enamel code. Knowing exactly how you can find out the body color of your car with only the VIN code, you will quickly solve all problems. This is an extremely effective and efficient method, which for some reason many people forget.

With foreign cars sorted out. Now it’s worth figuring out how to correctly find out the color of the car by the VIN code, if we are talking about the domestic auto industry.

Color search for domestic cars

Owners of cars that are produced by Russian automakers do not have any particular problems when searching for an enamel code. First you need to find the plate. Everything is extremely simple here, since the engine compartment area or the luggage compartment lid are used to place nameplates. It is also important to remember that domestic vehicles provide for the production of special labels on which the color number is written. This label is called form 3347. You can usually find it in several metas:

• inside the glove compartment of the car;
• on the luggage compartment lid;
• under the spare tire;
• in a niche near the spare wheel;
• under the stoplights of the car.




If you managed to find this special decal, it is recommended to rewrite the number. Moreover, many car owners put information on the inside of the gas tank cap. This will prevent you from losing or damaging the inscription. When buying a used car, the label is not always found. But since many people know about this trick, look in the gas tank. It is possible that the previous owner has already managed to rewrite the code from the label on this element of the car. The absence of a label and the information rewritten in it on the gas tank cap also cannot be considered a serious problem. Just look at the warranty card, where the required car enamel code is also required. Very good options on how to find out the exact color of the car by the VIN code for free.

Please note that it is not always possible to purchase a ready-made can of paint that will fully and completely match the shade of your body enamel. Here it is better to turn to an experienced and proven colorist. So called specialists involved in the manufacture of paints. Colorists usually only need the code. According to it, he will easily be able to recreate the composition that covered the body of your particular vehicle. But sometimes additional information is required in the form of the name of the model of the machine and the year of its manufacture. Based on this information, the colorist can easily find a list of enamels that covered cars of this model in a certain year of production. All information is in the public domain, and therefore there is no need to conduct any complex search activities.

It is a mistake to believe that the VIN-code serves purely to identify the car, its manufacturer, year of manufacture and other technical information. It contains a large amount of extremely useful data, among which is the number of the enamel used when painting the machine. Do not forget about the need for strict adherence to all staining rules. If the car requires serious repairs, and the paint layer is completely restored, or on a large area, it is better to turn to good specialists for this purpose, who have special boxes at their disposal. Their colorist will help with the manufacture of the paint, and the dyeing process itself will be carried out in the most appropriate conditions for all requirements.

If the defects are small, it is quite possible to cope with the task of restoring the paintwork on your own. To do this, it is required to prepare the body area for painting, remove all dirt, remnants of peeling paint, and degrease the surface. We must not forget about the likelihood of corrosion if the metal was damaged and even slightly deformed upon impact. Here it is better to immediately do anti-corrosion treatment, apply primer and then use the right paint.

Even when painting a small part of the body, the car must dry completely. Therefore, it is not recommended to drive it out of the garage within 2 to 3 days after completion of work. Also avoid washing with high pressure water. By following all these rules, you will be able to preserve all the protective properties of the new enamel, and you will also be able to restore the paint layer so that the damaged area does not differ from the color of the rest of the body elements.
