LK5U is a metallic, high gloss finish. Arktisblau Metallic also appears as code C6. Arktisblau Metallic is sold as Blue Metallic in other markets.

On-screen color is representative. Your exact match comes from the paint code.

Is LK5U the same as C6?

  • Manufacturer codeLK5UUsually the one on your car’s label
  • Supplier codeC6

A single factory colour is often recorded under more than one code: the manufacturer’s own code, an industry standard number, and a supplier code. They all mix to the same paint. The code printed on your vehicle’s paint label is the one to match.

Will LK5U match my Volkswagen if the paint has faded?

The kit is mixed to the LK5U formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.

Where it will not match

  • Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
  • A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
  • Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
  • Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.

Scratches barely noticeable

Watched YouTube video demo and followed it. Easy to use and excellent results. You really need to be on top of it to notice anything was done.

Great Product- Follow Directions, it works!

I wish I would have taken a before picture, had a 3” long scratch down to the metal where my side mirror on a 2021 VW Atlas clipped a pole in my garage. Reading the other reviews people mention that the correct and clear…

How it works

Three steps.
Zero blobs.

01

Clean

Wipe the chip, degrease the panel. Thirty seconds of prep is all it takes.

02

Apply

The precision tip fills the chip exactly — no drips, no brush marks, no blobs.

03

Ready

Seal and polish. The repair disappears into the factory finish.
