How to find out the exact color of the car body? Vaz 2112 graphite metallic

The owners of domestic VAZ cars, who intend to paint them with their own hands, are carefully interested in them. Thus, it is possible to save a significant amount of money, and a car that has received tuning parts painted in the same color as the body will look like a new and stylish foreign car. Only now it is not easy to choose the color of the body paint on the Vase, if you do not know what they are called, under what code they appear and where they are indicated. All this will be discussed in detail in the article.

How to determine the exact color

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

So, find out the exact color of your " iron horse» — priority task, which has to be solved before the start of painting work. To determine the color, you need to use the following guidelines:

See what color is indicated in the vehicle registration certificate. As a rule, not only the technical data of the model is written on the front of the document, but also its color is indicated;

View in warranty card... As a rule, this applies to relatively new VAZ models;
Look at the body. As a rule, all the necessary information is indicated on the luggage compartment lid or on the glove compartment.

There are several other ways to determine the desired color. Some even seek help from professional colorists if they cannot find color data. Others try to do it on their own using a table of codes and coloring.

VAZ models and their colors

Vaz cars, which showed themselves to the world thanks to the decision of the Central Committee of the CPSU to build a new large car plant in Togliatti, at first completely copied the models of the Italian concern Fiat. Some cars were even built by Italian specialists using their own technology.

"Six"

One of best models VAZ concern called "Six" and today briskly runs along the roads of our country. Almost 40 years have passed since this car first came off the assembly line, but it still enjoys considerable popularity among motorists of the former CIS countries, and is selling well.

Before proceeding to the description of the color of this car, we recall that the "six" is a 5-seater rear-wheel drive sedan. In the entire history, which lasted until 2002, about 4 million pieces of this legendary autocar were produced.

"Six" had many modifications. There were ten of them. At one time, they even produced a VAZ 2106 pickup truck and a "six" with a right-hand drive for countries with left-hand traffic.

"Nine"

Front-wheel drive VAZ 5-door hatchback, developed at VAZ, where it was produced in a row for 17 years. At this time, it is going, as you know, in Ukraine, but with another power unit... An interesting feature of the VAZ 2109: when folded rear seats this hatchback surprisingly simply turns into a cargo-passenger model, a kind of semblance of a full-fledged station wagon.

The color scheme of the "nine" was distinguished by much more elegant patterns than the colors of the Vaz 2106. The wonderful shade of paint known to all professional colorists called Rhapsody emphasized the vigorous appearance and valiant behavior of the car. "Nine" was adored by young people, it was associated with future revolutionary changes in the way of life, songs were composed about it, and poems were written.

Today "nine" is very common. But for the most part, second-hand samples of the former beauty of the exterior do not show. Almost all body parts of used "nines" carry traces of paint, clearly applied outside the factory, and the centers of corrosion are visible to the naked eye.

Only caring owners managed to keep the car flawlessly until these days. This they owe, of course, to the timely care of the paintwork.

The choice of color for the "nine" is very important. If you need to replace body part to match the body color, the table will help you easily find the desired color.

Features of paints

Restoration of paintwork or selection of a body part in body color are common types of body repair for VAZ models. AND good quality painting is the primary guarantee of a beautiful and healthy car.

Carefully, almost scrupulously, the owner who fully understands what it all means pays attention to the condition of the car paint. Here are just a few of the properties of paintwork, determined by the chemical composition of the paint:

Curing or the time it takes for the paint to dry;
A certain color with an individual shade inherent only in it;
Gloss: its presence or absence;
Viscosity;
The temperature to be observed during the drying process;
Adhesion and more.

Drying time is a mandatory period of time required for all the solvent to come out of the paint layer, and the surface has acquired at least some hardness. This indicator is also called the polymerization time. If the paint dries for a long time, then there is nothing wrong with that, only in one case: if the drying is carried out in a well-closed garage, hermetically sealed on all sides (something like a drying chamber).

In principle, the above conditions are required for any paint, but the duration of maintaining the regime may vary. So, if the paint is based on alkyd enamel, the drying time will be much shorter.

Note. However, this has its drawback: fast drying contributes to the formation of a thin film layer on the surface, which prevents the composition from drying out underneath. In other words, such paint is only seemingly dry, but from the inside does not have sufficient hardness.

On the contrary, acrylic enamels (ACE) look much better. They dry, however, longer than alkyd ones (ALE), but they give the required hardness.

There is another concept of paint that is used more often in the automotive world. It is about the ability of paint to give gloss. It is clear that matte paint will not look very good on the car, although the color can be of great importance here, and matte paints are often varnished on top.

Note. Most of the matt properties are possessed by alkyd enamels. Acrylic, on the other hand, has a shiny appearance.

The chemical composition of the paint allows the maximum expansion of the range of colors. And quite often, designers use melamine alkyd enamels (MALE), which give iridescent colors at different angles that look very beautiful. But the application of these paints is a rather complicated process and requires knowledge of the specifics, the ability to apply several layers, etc.

In turn, a lot also depends on the viscosity of the paint. So, if the paint does not match this indicator, a layer of paint on the car will be cast in large drops, which looks extremely ugly and is a marriage. On the contrary, MALE and ALE have low viscosity (liquid) and make it possible to obtain the desired form.

A property called adhesion allows the atoms of the paint and the metal of the body to be firmly bonded. All automotive enamels, be they alkyd, melamine alkyd or acrylic, have almost equal adhesion. Only acrylic has this ability a little more.

Drying temperature is of no less importance. Thus, it is known that MALE has the highest drying temperature. V this case the mark reaches 150 degrees. This significantly limits its use in garage conditions, where there is nowhere and nothing to provide such a degree.

Thus, the color colors of the bodies of VAZ models can be easily selected from the above tables, and then buy the desired part and replace it. If the owner has sufficient experience in painting works, then it will not be difficult for him to paint the faded body element in the desired color. Step by step instructions in our articles, photos and videos will only be useful in this case.

The color numbers of VAZ cars given in the table below, the color numbers will help you find out the color of the car and the number of the paint of the car.

How to find out the color of a VAZ car

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

Note also that the color code is also written in warranty card.

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

If you do not have any documentary evidence indicating the color with which your car is painted, you can try to establish it using the LADA painting plan at the factory. For this you need to know the exact date(year, month, day +/-) of the release 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 most the right 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 flap, with the help of which a specialist can use special equipment to make paint for you exactly in the color and in the volume you need - a tint, a spray can or a can. Actually, all this can be done in our laboratories for the computer selection of paint.

Before buying a car, we look at many ads in newspapers and free classifieds sites. It's good if a photo is attached to the description of the car. And it happens that there is no photo of the car being sold and there is only a text ad. Often the most mysterious thing about it is the color of the car.

When the standard color of the car is indicated, such as blue, black or red, this is normal. And when in the announcement of the sale of a car they write the name of the VAZ corporate color, then you get lost in the clues of the appearance of the car. After all, what does the color "gold of the Incas", "rhapsody" or "franconia" say for an ordinary motorist who was not previously familiar with the color catalog of VAZ cars?

A way out of this problem can be found - you can look at the catalog of car colors, but this information will give only general ideas about the mysterious color. The best solution would be to make catalog of the most popular car colors based on real photos.
