VW Golf Color Options: Types and Costs
Volkswagen provides a wide array of exterior colors, categorized by finish type:
- Solid: These are simple, non-metallic colors, usually the most affordable or standard options. They typically involve a three-coat process: primer, paint, and clear lacquer.
- Metallic: Metallic paints incorporate powdered metal, creating a shimmering effect and greater reflectivity. They generally cost more than solid colors.
- Pearlescent/Mica: These paints contain ceramic crystals (mica) that both reflect and refract light, resulting in a color-shifting appearance depending on the lighting conditions. Often priced similarly to or higher than metallic paints.
- Mother-of-Pearl: A premium finish that uses multiple layers and special pigments to create a deep, lustrous effect. This is usually the most expensive option.
- Two-Tone: Available exclusively on the GTI Clubsport, these combine a body color with a contrasting black roof.
