Wanted to get the VW paint code for the Anthracite Grey Metallic. VW dont do this colour in their range of cars and skoda use the RAL 9153 Colour Code to identify theirs. After a indepth research I think I have found it VW LF8J can anyone confirm this

Not sure why you need the VW code, but I have just got touch up made up using 9153 as the code and it's spot on. An auto paint supplier should be able to tell you if there is a VW code for it?

(The paint code is on a sticker on the boot floor, under the carpet on the nearside, behind the rear seats.)

Am thinking of getting a Shark fin from here.. http://www.visualgarage.com/ and painted, they require a VW paint code (Skoda aren`t sold over there)

Should be on the inside of the service book, on the delivery/options sticker.

And the same info is on a sticker to the side of the spare wheel well.

Anthracite shows up for me as code F8J, but there should be a four-digit code for it as well.

The code inside gives the RAL number 9153. Looks like F8J is correct with the L indicating that its a VW colour, hence LF8J

There we go then.... result

Thats the good thing about it you dont have to remove the headlining have a look at the site the fitting instructions are there and you dont remove the original stubb either

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum, so I'm still finding my way around the threads. Wanting to order some bits from Kopacek like matching grill frame, etc. 

 

Can anyone confirm if the anthracite grey they list, which is F8J, is the same as my F8j on boot sticker. Googled F8J octavia getting conflicted colour results. 

 

Dont want to order from them and it be a different grey. Looks lighter on the kopacek website. 

 

My code sticker in boot is showing LF8J-9J9J

 

 

Many thanks, everyone
