Before buying a car, we look at a lot of ads in newspapers and on free classified sites. It is good if a photo is attached to the description of the car. And it happens that there is no photo of the car for sale and there is only a text ad. Often the most mysterious thing about it is the color of the car.
When a standard car color is specified, such as blue, black or red, then this is normal. And when the name of the VAZ corporate color is written in the advertisement for the sale of a car, you get lost in clues about the appearance of the car. After all, what will the color "gold of the Incas", "rhapsody" or "franconia" say for an ordinary car enthusiast who was not previously familiar with the catalog of colors of VAZ cars.
You can find a way out of this problem - you can look at the car color catalog, but this information will only give a general idea of \u200b\u200bthe mysterious color. The best solution would be to make catalog of the most popular car colors based on real photos.
1. Color snow queen or silver
2. Color white cloud (white metallic)
3. Color Colombian greens
4. Rhapsody color (silver bright blue metallic)
5. Port color
6. Inca gold color (green-silver)
7. Magma color
8. Color franconia (dark raspberry metallic)
9. Pearl color (milky white-silver)
10. Alligator color
11. Color quartz
The body colors of the VAZ 2106 and other models have more than a hundred different shades. They are carefully interested in the owners of domestic VAZ cars, who intend to paint them with their own hands. 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’s not easy to choose the color of the body color on the Vase if you don’t 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? 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, to find out the exact color of your “iron horse” is a primary task that has to be solved before starting paint work. To determine the color, you must use the following recommendations:
- See what color is indicated in the vehicle data sheet. As a rule, not only the technical data of the model are written on the front of the document, but also its color is listed;
- Look in the 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 turn to professional colorists for help if they can’t find color data. Others try to do it themselves using a code and color chart.
VAZ models and their colors
VAZ cars, which revealed 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 machines were even built by Italian specialists using their own technologies.
"Six"
One of the best models of the VAZ concern called "six" and today runs briskly on the roads of our country. Almost 40 years have passed since this car first left the assembly line, but it still enjoys considerable popularity among motorists in the countries of the former CIS, and sells well.
Before proceeding to describe the color of this car, we recall that the "six" is a 5-seat rear-wheel drive sedan. In the entire history, which lasted until 2002, about 4 million units of this legendary car 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 drive.

"Nine"
Front-wheel drive VAZ 5-door hatchback, developed at VAZ, where it was produced in a row for 17 years. At this time, as you know, it is assembled in Ukraine, but with a different power unit. An interesting feature of the VAZ 2109: when the rear seats are folded down, this hatchback surprisingly simply turns into a cargo-passenger model, a kind of full-fledged station wagon.
The color scheme of the "nine" was much more elegant than the colors of the VAZ 2106. A wonderful shade of paint called Rhapsody, known to all professional colorists, emphasized the peppy look and valiant appearance of the car. "Nine" was adored by young people, it was associated with future revolutionary changes in the way of life, they composed songs about it and wrote poems.
Today, the "nine" is very common. But for the most part, used samples of the former beauty of the exterior are not. Almost all hinged body parts of used “nines” bear traces of paint, obviously not applied in the factory, and corrosion centers are visible to the naked eye.
Only caring owners managed to keep the car flawless until these days. They owe this, of course, to the timely care of the paintwork.
The choice of color for the "nine" is very important. If you need to replace a body part to match the body color, the table will help you easily find the desired color.

Paint features
Restoration of paintwork or selection of body parts 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 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, unique shade;
- 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 to acquire 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 similar to a drying chamber).
In principle, it is required to provide the above conditions for any paint, but the duration of maintaining the regime may vary. So, if the paint is based on alkyd enamel, its drying time will be much shorter.
Note. However, this has its drawback: rapid drying contributes to the formation of a thin layer of film on the surface, which prevents the complete drying of the composition under it. In other words, such paint is only dry in appearance, and does not have sufficient hardness from the inside.
On the contrary, acrylic enamels (AcE) look much better. They dry, however, longer than alkyd (ALE), but they give the desired hardness.
There is another concept of paint that is used more often in the automotive world. We are talking about the ability of paint to give gloss. It is clear that matte paint will not look very good on a car, although color can be of great importance here, and matte paints are often varnished on top.
Note. For the most part, alkyd enamels have matte properties. Acrylics, on the other hand, have a shiny appearance.
To maximize the range of colors allows, first of all, the chemical composition of the paint. And often, designers use melamine-alkyd enamels (MALE), which give iridescent colors from different angles, which 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, the paint layer on the car will be cast in large drops, which looks extremely ugly and is a marriage. On the contrary, MALE and ALE have a low viscosity (liquid) and allow you to get the desired look.
A property called adhesion allows the atoms of the paint and metal of the body to firmly adhere. All automotive enamels, be it alkyd, melamine alkyd or acrylic, have almost equal adhesion. Only acrylic has this ability a little more.
Drying temperature is equally important. Thus, it is known that MALE has the highest drying temperature. In 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 body colors 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 work, 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 benefit in this case.
The body colors of VAZ cars given in the table below, the color numbers will help you find out the color of the car and the car paint number. It is applicable to the following models of domestic VAZ cars: 1111 Oka, 2101-2121, 2131 (Niva) 4x4, Chevrolet Niva, LADA Priora (Priora), LADA Kalina (Kalina), LADA Kalina Sport, LADA 110, LADA 112 Coupe, LADA Samara , LADA 2105, LADA 2107, LADA 4x4, LADA Grant, cars Volga, IZH, GAZ
How to find out the color of a VAZ car
The label with the body color number of domestic cars can be searched on the trunk lid, in the glove compartment, in the spare wheel niche near the spare wheel or under it, under the brake light on the spoiler. This simple piece of paper is called Form 3347. Sometimes it is difficult to find, easy to lose and easy to forget. Therefore, if it is found, champions recommend writing down the number and name of the paint with a marker on the inside of the gas tank hatch. If you have a used car, check if someone has already done it.
Please also note that the color code is also written in warranty card.
What else can be done to find out "what are my Zhiguli painted in?" As an option, this is to contact the dealer from whom you bought the car, which only works naturally if the dealer is a completely official organization.
If you do not have any documentary evidence indicating the color your car is painted, you can try to establish this using the LADA painting plan at the factory. To do this, you need to know the exact date (year, month, day +/-) 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 surest 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 hatch, with the help of which a specialist on special equipment can make paint for you exactly in color and in the volume you need - tint, spray can or can. Actually, all this can be done in our laboratories on computerized paint selection.
