Read moreIn this category, we offer all professional quality paints for bodywork, made according to the color codes of other European cars, among others the color codes of Lada cars, with matt base paint versions to varnish or classic lacquer versions. direct gloss polyurethanes. We also offer a complete kit including the basecoat and the clearcoat.
To order the paint according to your Lada color code, it's extremely simple and fast: first of all, determine yourself if your paint is a simple opaque color, or a more modern color of the pearl type or metallic.
If your Lada color is pearlescent or metallic, then you need it on the product page Two-coat paint/matt base paint. And if your paint is a simple and opaque color, you can either choose the base to be varnished or the direct gloss paint.
Then all you have to do is choose the packaging you need. By the way, we urge you to read the full contents of the product page, as it contains all the very important instructions for preparing your bodywork, your paint mixture and for a successful application.
The amount of paint you need is approximately 1L of paint mixed for 6 m² in two coats.
The paints are sold either already diluted, for small packaging of matt base paints, or delivered pure, with a separate thinner. Regarding the gloss lacquers, they are delivered with the hardener and the thinner.
Let's do a quick summary to explain the difference between the two main paint versions found in the field of professional bodywork. This will help you understand the reason for choosing your paint, the pros and cons.
Today, most paints are of the two-coat type, they are more commonly called "Matt base to varnish" paints.
These are single-component paints, which means that they do not need a hardener and are air-dried. It is diluted widely, as much as desired. They dry very quickly and form very thin layers. They are remarkably easy to apply and are perfect for creating metallic or pearl colors. They must be varnished, because on their own, they are absolutely not resistant. This is their only drawback.
The other, older and now increasingly abandoned type of paint that makes up most Lada color codes is two-component polyurethane lacquer, also commonly referred to in the jargon direct gloss paint LADA. It is a finishing paint, that is, it does not need clearcoat. It is very shiny and resistant. It mixes with a hardener and a little thinner, and in 30 minutes, thanks to a reaction, it starts to harden. After 24 hours it is completely hard.
With this type of paint, there is no need to varnish. It is not possible to mix this type of formula with Lada metallic or pearl color codes. Moreover, most Lada manufacturer codes date from the time when there was no aluminum or mother-of-pearl in the paintwork. So most Lada colors are direct gloss paints. You can confirm this with our color department.
The drakkar brand is manufactured by VAZ, a Russian state company. This brand appeared in 1970 with the support and partnership of Fiat.
So Lada cars appeared thanks to the joint will and technical collaboration between the Soviet Ministry and one of the founders of Fiat.
LADA is an extremely famous brand in Russia and throughout the post-Soviet era. It was in 1970 that the first models left the production plants. They are very sturdy steel vehicles, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of Russian winters and rough Russian roads.
Lada cars have become extremely popular in Europe, Canada, South America, and also in Africa, with the famous Lada NIVA all-terrain vehicle, which has three shifters for gears, 4x4 gears and differential.
Reputation is quickly earned on all continents for these economical, sober, very reliable and robust vehicles. You may not know it, but Lada is one of the manufacturers who have built the largest number of cars in the world.
Since January 2021, the Lada brand has been integrated into the Renault Dacia group. Then, it returned to the bosom of the Russian government in 2022.
For LADA brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the color code (vinplate) can be found in two different places.
- Inside the engine compartment.
- Inside the left rear door on the driver's side. The color code always consists of three digits.
No, the color code of the car is not listed on the vehicle registration document and the name of the color is not listed on the bodywork. Various numbers and numbers can be found on several places on the bodywork, and this can be confusing when looking for the correct color code. Note that on Lada vehicles, the color code is always made up of 3 digits.
We give you some examples in the next paragraph.
Probably the most famous shade is snow white, which has coated millions of LADA vehicles. However, the Russian brand's color base is surprisingly well supplied and we have around 80 color codes which are distributed, from the years of the brand's creation in the 1970s, to the modern era with the takeover by Renault.
As for the other brands of the manufacturer, we always find the color code composed of two or three numbers, then the name of the color, which is not written in Russian but in English or German, then the date color appearance.
