Where is the paint code for VAZ Lada Granta, Kalina, Priora, Vesta, X-ray, Largus, Niva

Too dense traffic on the roads during rush hour, a large number of cars, which increases every year, require increased driver attention. In this bustle, no one is safe from accidental scratches, abrasions, stones from an oncoming car and other troubles.

In addition to its decorative function, the paintwork of a car plays an important role in protecting the car from corrosion. Therefore, at the slightest scratch, it is necessary to immediately take measures to eliminate the damage and paint over the area. But how to do this if modern cars are full of a variety of colors and shades. To make it convenient to select the color of a car when carrying out repair work, vehicle manufacturers have created an individual color palette with numbers. Once you know the color number, you can purchase the corresponding paint. Each automaker will have a different number, or one number may have completely different paint.

Even an experienced technician cannot determine the shade of a car by eye, so to find out your color, you can use the methods indicated in this article.

Advice. If the car is left outdoors too often and is exposed to sunlight, the original color of the car may change. Therefore, when making repairs, it is best not to paint a separate area, but to try to repaint the entire body part.

Where to find the vin code

VIN numbers are often located on door surfaces and under the hood. On many cars it can be seen in the trunk under the spare tire.

In foreign cars

On foreign-made cars, the location of the VIN code is different:

• On Hyundai Solaris it is located on the driver's door. The code may also be located near the power unit. Having deciphered the wines, you can determine the desired shade from the catalogue;
• You can find out the paint colors on a Ford Focus by looking under the hood - the VIN is located near the engine. In some models, the manufacturer placed it on the driver's door;
• On the Nissan Almera, the paint markings are located under the hood. You should look for them near the windshield;
• On the Chevrolet Lacetti, the paint shade code is located near the radiator near the power unit. It can also be found near the engine or windshield;
• Car manufacturer Mazda places numbers on the pillars or near the engine. Sometimes the identification number is located on the passenger door;
• In most Toyota cars, the color of the body enamel is indicated on the internal reinforcements of the front doors;
• In Peugeot, the plate is attached to the front pillars.

In some cars the VIN is placed in the door frame.

For domestic cars

On Russian-made cars, the nameplate with the VIN is placed on the trunk lid. Another popular place is the engine compartment. This is where the color code and markings on AvtoVAZ models are located.

In some domestic models, colors are designated by names, for example, “white cloud”. In such cases, the car paint number should be looked for in the catalog. However, it is not enough to just determine the LMB code.

The enamel may be exclusive - in such cases its designation is only available in unknown catalogues. If the paint manufacturer is not indicated, it will not be possible to accurately determine the paint number. In addition to determining the numbers, you should find matches for the paint and varnish material in catalogs.

Selecting paint for older models is difficult because the information you are looking for is not indicated on the VIN. There is only basic information there. The paint color on many cars began to be indicated in the form of a code only in 2013. In other cases, the required shade can only be selected using spectral analysis.

Decoding

The paint shade code is selected based on several components of the VIN code, indicated by the Latin alphabet. Each of them has its own decoding:

1. WMI. The first two letters determine the place of manufacture of the car. For example, for cars of European origin they are in the SZ range. The third character is a number indicating the manufacturer.
2. VDS. These letters indicate vehicle identification. They indicate the model, vehicle weight, body type, etc.
3. VIS. The symbols of this designation contain information about the year of manufacture of the machine and its serial number.

When determining the color by the VIN code, it is important to know all the data about the car. They will help you find the paint number in the manufacturer’s catalog or on one of the specialized sites.

Venus

Bright red metallic is a symbol of the energy of the LADA Vesta car. The eye-catching shade is a successful addition to the stylish and modern design of the car. Red cars are produced to expand the audience to young car enthusiasts.

According to survey results, 45% of women buy cars in classic black, blue and gray, which are especially popular among men. A red car is usually chosen by confident individuals who achieve their goals. Owners of cars of this color have leadership inclinations; they want to stand out from the crowd and demonstrate their advantages to others.

Despite the fact that the red body looks impressive, it is worth considering that it quickly fades if it is exposed to the sun for a long time. In most of our regions there are relatively few sunny days, so you can safely opt for a bright red car.

How to find out a car's paint number by VIN

You can select the paint code by VIN code yourself or using the convenient service avtobot.net (you can check without registration). The second method is more convenient.

When choosing paint yourself, you must:

1. Go to the car manufacturer's website.

How to determine the color of a car by VIN code?

Question: “How to find out the paint number of a car by VIN code?” interests many motorists. You need to select a code for the following reasons:

• clouding, fading or abrasion of the coating is observed;
• new car enamel is required after an accident;
• the driver wants to select enamel to change the design of the vehicle.

Paint number by VIN code
Owners of used vehicles are especially interested in how to determine the VIN number of car paint color. If a new car comes with a can of auto enamel in its “native” shade, then you just have to guess how to find out the color number for old cars by the number.

If you select the paint code by VIN code “by eye”, you run the risk of choosing the wrong color, which will cause unnecessary waste of money and time on repainting.

Before you understand how to find out the paint number of a car and calculate the color from the VIN and calculate it, you should know what the VIN classification is. Compositions with a VIN code began to be produced 30 years ago, and today it is an international standard for auto enamels, including 17 characters. The components of the code are divided into 3 groups, in which there are 3, 6 and 8 characters, respectively.

Technical characteristics of lada largus cross

Body

Engine and transmission

The new power unit is a key innovation in the Lada Largus Cross update for the 2022 model year. The new engine has 48 new or changed parts: piston group, camshaft and crankshafts, fuel rail, etc.:

• reduced noise (by an average of 2.4 dBa), improved power performance, reduced mechanical losses in the engine;
• the dynamic and driving qualities of the car have been improved;
• reduced operating oil consumption. Reduced maintenance costs (no need to adjust valves before a mileage of 90,000 kilometers);
• the engine service life has been increased from 160 thousand to 200 thousand km;
• the compression ratio was increased to 10.5 (from 10.3);
• new spark plugs of smaller diameter M12 (previously M14)
• a new throttle pipe with a reduced cross-section of 45mm (was 52mm) - due to which the idle speed is reduced to 750 rpm. (was 850 rpm);
• the number of crankshaft counterweights was changed from 8 to 4, the size of the connecting rod journal was reduced from 47.8 mm to 43 mm, the oil supply to it was changed, the connecting rods were shorter - the vibration level was reduced, etc.

But the new VAZ-11182 engine (90 hp) is installed only on a station wagon or van. The more powerful version of the Cross is powered by a VAZ-11189 engine (106 hp)

Decoding

In the color catalog of automobile paints, the shade code is selected based on the following components of the VIN code:

• WMI. The first two letters indicate the geographic area where the vehicle was manufactured (for example, for Europe the letters SZ are provided). The third character of the code is a number that indicates the manufacturer.
• VDS. The following is the designation of car identification symbols. The model, modification, body type, weight, and braking system of the vehicle are indicated there.
• VIS. 10-17 places in the row of enamel code symbols are reserved for the year of manufacture and serial number of the machine.

How to determine the VIN code

To understand how to determine the VIN number for a VAZ car, you need to know where it is located. Even international standards do not require the placement of a VIN code. You can usually find the enamel code for a car in the following ways:

• finding it on the body. The surest way to find out the color code is to look for its presence on the pillars near the driver’s seat, in the windshield area, in the engine compartment, under the trunk;
• "approximately". The least accurate way to determine the shade of the body, which is unlikely to be suitable for partial repainting of the car;
• using specialized sites. There you can search for the composition by code, or, if you don’t know where to look for the color by VIN code, a special field is presented. There you enter the year of manufacture of the car and its model, and the search helps determine the composition code;

Selection of paint by VIN code on special websites

• by contacting the manufacturer's official dealer. Before you find out the VIN code of a shade, contact a representative of the manufacturer by phone. He will be able to provide the correct cipher;
• in the technical passport. The passport indicates only the color of the composition, but not the code.

Once you understand the principle of determining body color, use the knowledge to obtain exactly the same shade of enamel. After all, incorrectly selected enamel for components will worsen the appearance of the vehicle. The rules for how to find car enamel colors are identical for each model.

Azure blue

A deep color reminiscent of the azure summer sky or the endless depths of the ocean. Diving is possible in different elements, but the path to them begins behind the wheel of a LADA Largus. The blue color of a car carries a calming energy and is considered more “masculine”.

The driver who has chosen a car of this shade is characterized by thoughtfulness and restraint. He is not inclined to act rashly, and considers racing a frivolous activity, so it is safe to be on the road with this person.

The light blue color is quite easily soiled, so if you are not ready to become a regular customer of car washes, then choose a car of a different shade.

Improving the power unit

When considering options for tuning a Lada Largus car, it is first advised to concentrate on the technical part. Special attention should be paid to the power unit. The “engine” can develop from 84 to 102 “horses”, depending on what design solutions are used in this car.

For daily trips in an urban environment, the engine power is enough, especially if you have a family. But there are many Lada Largus owners who are not satisfied with the capabilities of their engine. Therefore, there are 2 ways to improve the power of your power plant:

• Perform chip tuning on the electronic control module, followed by changing the settings;
• To carry out modifications to the motor in the mechanical part, which involves productive intervention with the task - to replace the elements with similar components of a more reinforced plan.

If we talk about the first method - chip tuning, then it is quite common and is popular with many car owners. The purpose of the improvement is to change the ECU settings. As a result, it is possible to achieve engine adjustments. If you correctly calibrate certain parameters, you can expect a worthy reward - an increase in power.

Chip tuning is best done in specialized workshops. They can reprogram the standard firmware version to a different one. As a result:

• The fuel “appetite” decreases;
• Toxic emissions are reduced;
• Dynamic performance increases.

You can also resort to mechanical transformations of the power plant. This implies a significant improvement in performance (plus about 10-40 percent to the basic parameters). Such transformations are carried out by replacing some elements in the motor. This may include:

• Fuel supply system;
• Timing elements;
• Injection components;
• Elements of the cylinder-piston group and the block head.

It is important to note that parts must be replaced only with similar ones that are structurally compatible with the given engine.

Black Pearl

A strict, classic color that looks great in combination with X-shaped chrome moldings and silver alloy wheels.

LADA Largus in black emphasizes the driver’s classic preferences, allowing him to feel superior among the many cars of bright colors. Black is chosen by people who want to make an impression and are willing to take risks in life and on the road.

The disadvantage of black cars is that scratches and dust are especially noticeable on them. In hot weather they heat up quickly, but if you live in the northern region, you should choose this color, as a black car will be especially safe and warm.

Determine paint by VIN code - where to find out the VIN code of a car?

If you need to find out the VIN code of a car, the easiest way is to look for it in the service book. Paint according to the VIN code is the “native” factory color of your car.

The VIN code of a car is its body number, which is in the technical documentation for the car and looks like a 17-digit code (number). Online selection of car enamels by this code allows you to find the paint color by VIN code for “color-on-color” painting, i.e. You can buy auto paint to paint an entire car, paint an individual part of it, or to restore scratches and chips so that the restored and repainted parts of the car do not differ from the previously painted coating.

You can order and buy car paint, choose car paint by color for any models and brands of cars, motorcycles and even watercraft.

Find out the car paint code

You can find the vin code of a car and, accordingly, find out the paint code by vin not only from the registration certificate, but also on the car itself. You can find the VIN code by carefully inspecting the car - it is applied to some body parts, on the panel, under the driver's seat, on the chassis, under the hood or other elements of the car. The location of the VIN code in cars of different brands is different, but most cars nowadays have noticeable vinyl stickers and aluminum plates where the VIN code of the car is indicated, which is necessary to determine the car paint code.

Glacial

White enamel combines well with black body elements and bright “arrows” on the taillights. A car of this color is suitable for car enthusiasts who want to stand out, show individuality and increase their status. The main advantage of white color is that it practically does not attract heat, so in summer, in hot and sunny weather, the car interior will be cooler than in a dark-colored car.

To maintain a white car in perfect condition, you will have to work hard and spend a lot on detergents and polishes. Be prepared that after rain it will quickly lose its presentable appearance.

Determining car paint color by VIN code

Many drivers face the need to paint their car. And the reason for such body repairs is not always an accident. This may include clouding or abrasion of the paintwork, color fading, or the appearance of a large number of chips and scratches. In many cases, there is no need to paint the entire body; it is enough to refresh the paintwork on only one or several parts. And here the main problem arises for every car owner - how to find out the car’s paint color by VIN code. Selecting a paint shade by eye is not an option, since you can easily make a mistake, and the difference of even one shade will be noticeable.

Calibration

Before starting measurements, the thickness gauge must be calibrated. For this purpose, special calibration plates are used, which are included in the kit. But the calibration gets lost due to temperature changes, dampness or a dead “battery”. Therefore, always check the calibration of the device before taking measurements. If you rent a thickness gauge, ask that it be calibrated in front of you, and also be given calibration plates for subsequent self-adjustment. Just in case, check how to do this.

Features of searching for VIN code and paint number

To ensure that the shade of the old and new car enamel matches perfectly, you need to know how to determine the car’s paint number by VIN code. During the manufacture and release of each vehicle, a unique number is assigned to the paint used to paint it. This code contains information about the weight ratio of the pigments that make up the auto enamel. These numbers are the car enamel code. Ford uses names, not numbers, as codes for car enamel, some of which may seem strange. This is the only exception; all other manufacturers use numbers exclusively.

To find out the paint color by VIN code, you can use the following methods:

1. We carefully inspect the body, paying special attention to the pillars, windshield, engine compartment and space under the trunk. In one of these places there will definitely be information that interests us, which will allow us to find out the color of the car enamel.
2. We visit specialized sites that may contain services for searching for composition by code. Some of them may have a special field for entering the year of manufacture of the car and model. Search engines for such sites allow you to find out the composition code.
3. We contact an official dealer who may have information about the correct code.
4. From the technical data sheet you can only find out the name of the shade, but you won’t be able to look at the paint code by VIN this way.

What to do with foreign cars

Finding out the paint code by VIN code for cars of foreign origin is somewhat more difficult than in the case of domestic models. The main difficulty lies in the location of the cipher. There is no uniform requirement in the world regarding the choice of place in which the color number will be located. Here, manufacturers have unlimited possibilities, and the car owner then has to rack his brains to find the necessary information and thoroughly study his car.

A common location for the cipher is the door pillar or engine compartment. But on one thing, manufacturers are unanimous - the color is indicated on a large plate along with the VIN code. The exception is some Honda models. They have a separate plate on which the color is indicated. Information about the paint coating used is usually located next to the words "paint" or "color".

You can find out about the location of the plate from an official dealer, specialists who do body repairs, on forums or on the manufacturer’s website.

Crash test lada largus

The station wagon can hardly be called a new car. For those who have already bought this car, its pros and cons are known. However, those who are just thinking about buying this model may be confused. Perhaps crash tests of Lada Largus will help get a more objective picture.

Like all vehicles, the Lada Largus station wagon underwent mandatory crash tests. During a side test, a special trolley crashed into the car at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. The car performed quite well in such a test. Due to the damage, the car doors could not open.

The dummy, which was inside the car at the time of the study, received damage to the head 8 times lower than allowed. If we talk about pelvic injuries, then here too Largus copes with the assigned tasks, meeting these standards threefold.

During the impact with the movable barrier at a speed of 36 kilometers per hour, the interior remained intact and the seats were secured. It is also interesting that the side windows, along with the glass of the rear trunk door, were not damaged. The fuel tank is perfectly protected by the spare tire and suspension parts. That is why during a crash test it remains unharmed.

Tests of the Lada Largus station wagon have shown that the car meets all legal safety requirements. Crash tests were carried out under more difficult conditions. The established rules for a frontal collision indicate an impact at a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, and the VAZ was tested at a speed limit of 64 km/h, which is 8 kilometers per hour more than the norm.

After the tests, the car received 8.32 points out of 10 possible, which is an excellent result, comparable to the Logan MCV, which received 8 points in 2005. It turns out that you can and even need to buy a Lada Largus station wagon.
