Choosing the color of a Lada vesta car: review of model shades


What does metallic mean?

Metallic paint is a type of auto enamel to which aluminum powder pigment has been added. The metal filling makes the composition reflective. The body begins to shine and sparkle in the sun.

The advantages of the technology include the fact that the surface of the body better reflects heat, so the interior heats up in the sun much less.

In addition, metallic has high anti-corrosion properties, so saffron milk caps appear less frequently.

Additional aluminum particles protect the paint from fading. The car looks “new” for much longer.

Registration of repainting

As you know, complete or partial repainting of a car must be officially registered. In the first case, this is quite easy to do, but in the second, it is difficult.

Auto repainting

These days, almost every motorist who drives a used car is faced with the desire to upgrade it. The ideal option is to sell the old model and get a new one, but this does not always work out for various reasons. Just in this particular case, you can update the “image” of your car by repainting the body or its individual, tarnished areas.

As mentioned above, often owners simply recognize the factory color of the car and then paint certain areas. Everything is fine, you don’t need to do anything. However, there is one caveat: over time, the paint fades in the sun, and then you have to either paint the entire car a new color (the same), or change the shade with the help of a colorist.

Whatever you say, you have to take the law into account. And new rules, introduced for no apparent reason, only spoil the whole picture. If earlier it was clearly stated what can be done and what cannot be done, today there is a kind of bureaucratic chaos. One thing is certain: it is easier to obtain documents for a completely repainted car than for a partially repainted one.

We can only hope that the kinks in the charter will be corrected soon. For owners who intended to repaint the car, it is better to update the old color using the recommendations for selecting the exact color given above.

Front-wheel drive is paired with a standard transmission, as well as drum and disc brakes. Hatchbacks differ from sedans in the capacity of the trunk, the volume of which increases with the rear seats folded. Aerodynamic performance has been improved due to the smoothness of modern body lines. In general, the car in question is a traditional representative of Russian automobile production. Most modifications have an injector installed; since 2011, an electronic gas pedal has been equipped.

VAZ color selection

The numerous color palette of the VAZ creates problems with visual identification. When buying a car, a car enthusiast does not focus on the color of the car, but as practice shows, using a car is in vain.

In PTS and tech. The traffic police passport does not display the name of the color, but its visual correspondence. The fact is, when an Inspector stops a car, his responsibilities include determining the visual identification of the license plates and colors of the car according to the registration certificate; well, they won’t remember countless colors like the colors: snow queen, California poppy, port wine or milky way. Unfortunately, the trend of recent years in the automotive industry and the difficult Russian climate and traffic jams have turned body parts, especially its plastic elements, into virtually consumables.

So what should you do if you want to buy factory paint, buy a body cladding part in color, for example a bumper or fender.

The easiest thing is to look into the spare wheel niche; also on some models, a sticker with the name of the color was affixed to the trunk lid. Usually on the right side there is a coupon with a pack of cigarettes - with the Karski brand, the name of the shade and its number.

You can also look in the car’s service book, often the color is written there.

If the coupon is lost and the car’s service book is missing, then the matter becomes more complicated, but there is a way out.

We look at the year of manufacture of the car and go to the Autosreda website - Lada painting plan and roughly determine the color of the car, as a rule, this is enough.

But there are times when this is not enough, the car is quite old or there are several shades suitable for your car. Then you need to go to any paint selection company and use a fan to select your color.

Also recommendations when buying a car - when purchasing a car, it is better to buy common VAZ colors, this will reduce the time in the future when buying parts in color, when purchasing paints.

Kalina 2 station wagon body color

Welcome, dear car owner. You have come to the portal about a new product of the domestic automobile industry - Lada Kalina 2. We will try to help you in matters of repair and maintenance of the new family of LADA cars. This car has been produced since mid-May 2013 and went on sale in July of the same year. It replaced the already well-proven model range of the first Kalina in Hatchback and Station Wagon bodies. The niche of sedans will be filled by the previous new product - Lada Granta. However, according to the latest information, it became known that the Grant will also be produced in a hatchback body. The car began to look much more attractive on the outside and even bigger on the inside. The model is already very close to its European counterparts of this class.

General information about the car

New Lada Kalina 2

— a front-wheel drive passenger car of domestic production, which will be produced in two body versions: hatchback and station wagon. The car's code designation is 2192x and 2194x, respectively.

The location of the engine in the car is transverse relative to the axis of the car. The body of the new product is also all-metal, in a five-door design. The luggage compartment will be increased compared to its predecessor, but very slightly.

Engine models

According to preliminary data, the engines of the new Kalina will be installed depending on the configuration. This will be the already familiar 8-valve valve from the Lada Grant with a lightweight ShPG with a power of 87 hp, 21126 16 cl. 1.6l with lightweight ShPG 98hp. and the updated 126 with 106 hp. In the luxury versions they plan to install an automatic transmission, which is already installed on the Lada Granta. The manual transmission will also be updated. Now it will be cable driven, which will eliminate all the annoying sounds and vibrations that came from previous versions of the manual transmission.

Suspension and driving characteristics

The second-generation model will have a different suspension with a larger angle of inclination of the front axle, while the rear beam will have a “minus” camber. The suspension settings were revised and completely changed by AVTOVAZ engineers. Exactly the same settings were made when starting the Lada Granta car. The steering rack will be installed short, as on the latest modifications of today's Kalina, but at the same time the rack is attached in a completely new way - this also helped improve the sensitivity of the steering wheel.

On May 16, 2013, the car was officially launched into mass production. As previously reported, the new product will be produced in hatchback and station wagon bodies. The car will go on sale at dealers in June. The starting price of a car in the “Standard” configuration is 324 thousand rubles. Top trim levels of station wagons will cost up to 472 thousand rubles. Our resource was created for car enthusiasts and will help them repair their Kalina themselves.

Electronic application for a car

The AvtoVAZ concern has not escaped the trend of electronic applications for the purchase of a car. At least the automaker has started accepting electronic applications for the new generation Lada Kalina hatchback. You need to go to a special website and select those available in warehouses by region. An application for a car is completed on-line and confirmed within five days by concluding an agreement with a regional dealer. The price for a hatchback when concluding a contract must be equal to the price fixed on the website.

Why is the Perseus Priora color attractive to modern buyers?

A distinctive characteristic of the Priora Perseus is the color, which allows you to highlight the exterior of the car. This tone goes well with chrome inserts. The front of the vehicle with a large nameplate and shiny metal inserts on the grille will look very stylish.

Regular lenses on the headlights also look good. But to improve the appearance, it is recommended to replace old lamps with new bright lights.

In various photos of the Priora color Perseus you can see how important it is to have the right combination of body shades and the selected wheels. Good combinations with aluminum alloy wheels. The pleasant shine of the metal perfectly emphasizes the shade of the body.

Ordinary steel wheels are not suitable for a dark blue stylish car, so after purchasing a vehicle it is recommended to install original wheels. Additionally, to improve the exterior, you can perform the following equipment:

1. Install roof rails.

2. Replace running lights.

3. Install new bumpers and grilles.

4. Install new covers on the side mirrors (with the turn signals removed).

Painting process

As already mentioned, choosing paint using the traditional method will not be easy, so pay attention to the numbers in the table. Areas not to be coated should first be completely isolated. For this, special film or paper is used. The room in which the procedure will be carried out should be protected from moisture, dust and dirt.

Before your first experience, it is better to contact a knowledgeable assistant. The quality of the coating depends on maintaining the optimal proportions of the mixed components. The finished mixture must have the appropriate viscosity, achieved using the desired ratio of solvent, primer and enamel. The minimum number of layers applied is three. The main process is carried out using a spray gun. Any metal surface is suitable as a training ground.

Do-it-yourself airbrushing on a car body


To make their car stand out from the faceless mass, many owners resort to this type of tuning such as airbrushing.
This is a special technology for applying a pattern to any type of 7 body using special equipment - an airbrush. Using this device, experienced craftsmen transfer various images or entire paintings to the surface of the car body. Among the attached elements of a car, which are most often airbrushed, are the following parts: hood, doors, trunk lid, bumpers. By choosing image options, you can realize any of your fantasies in a sketch of a drawing (various elements, images of animals, flowers, etc.). Airbrushing is performed in specialized salons.

Ask a Question

This “pleasure” is not cheap. Therefore, if you have some skills in working with an airbrush, then you can make a simple stencil image with your own hands.

Prepare paints of the required color; for beginners, universal paints and paints are better suited. You can choose stencils for designs yourself or order them at the salon.

  1. Prepare the surface of the car: clean from dust, dirt, degrease.
  2. Cover with film those parts of the body surface that will not be airbrushed.
  3. Secure the stencil and, using an airbrush, begin applying layers. Painting should occur smoothly, without sudden movements, starting with the base layer, gradually drawing out the entire pattern. After one color has dried, you can begin applying the next one.
  4. The airbrush should be held at a 90 degree angle to the surface.
  5. Cover the finished image with varnish and polish.

Tinting will also give a more modern look. Today there are many technologies for tinting car windows. The most common method is removable tinting. It can be on a rigid basis, silicone, gel, mesh, hybrid. Each of these types has its own advantages and disadvantages.

When choosing darkening so as not to risk traffic safety, remember that the film cannot be clouded.

Lada Priora color "space" | PrioraPRO

When buying a car, a person pays attention to many criteria. The most important are the technical characteristics, appearance and, of course, the color of the vehicle.

Buyers follow the same principle when choosing LADA Priora. Over the ten years of production, the model has earned the respect of millions of car owners not only in the Russian Federation, but also in neighboring countries.

The main difficulty when purchasing is choosing a shade. Which option should you prefer? Of all the variety, the most popular is the “space” color of the Priora, which gives the car additional chic and mystery.

How to make a decision?

Experts are sure that many parameters depend on the correct choice of color - the appearance of the car, ease of repair, level of comfort and even traffic safety. In addition, the decision made can tell a lot about the character of the future owner and his preferences.

Many people refuse black cars, considering them impractical. But this is a stereotype. The space-colored Lada Priora looks great! In our culture, black symbolizes rage, anger and luxury. It is rightfully in demand and, in relation to these cars, is considered one of the best.

Color and character

When choosing the “space” color of the Lada Priora, a person does not even realize that he is revealing many traits of his character. But here the opinions of psychologists differ.

Some claim that lovers of black cars are apathetic individuals who are not ready to make decisions. According to them, by purchasing such a car a person is trying to hide behind the calmness of a mournful shade, and he himself is a self-confident and short-sighted person, regardless of age.

But there is another opinion

People who pay attention to black color and decide to buy such a car are confident and solid people who have a stable income and prefer only the best. As a rule, they are also members of the “A24 Auto Club” - https://a24.ru

What are the benefits of color?

Even from the photo of the space-colored Lada Priora, it is clear that the car has a more solid appearance when compared with cars with other colors. This color emphasizes the design and will give the car speed and sophistication. Today, it is the one that is most in demand, which is easy to explain - even a budget black car looks richer and attracts the attention of others.

The advantages of the Priora “space” color include:

  • Excellent appearance (provided the car is washed well).
  • Excellent visibility of the vehicle in winter when there is a lot of snow on the road.
  • The ability to instill fear in other car owners (especially if the windows are tinted) (joke).
  • Ease of choosing a shade in case of body damage.

But there are also a number of disadvantages. The “space” color can hardly be called practical, because in case of minor damage to the surface, the defects will be difficult to hide. Also, on black cars, dirt and dust are clearly visible.

Just look at the photo of the Priora hatchback in “space” color to make your final decision. This car looks great and gives respect to the owner. The main thing is to keep the body clean and try to avoid damage.

And, since it is difficult to describe color in words, it will be better to see it with your own eyes. For clarity, we present to you a selection of photos of Prioras in “space” color in various environments, at different times of the year and at different times of day.

Other methods

What colors of VAZ-2114 exist are indicated in the table above. It is difficult to accurately determine the shade offhand. However, there are several additional methods:

  1. Changes can be traced back to 2005, when the manufacturer began publishing a paint plan. It is used as a guide, taking into account the exact release date of the car. Thanks to it you will find the original color of the vehicle.
  2. Contact an official dealer. Our service specialists will easily determine the color thanks to their experience. In addition, even if the desired shade is not available, they will be able to order it from the factory.
  3. Coloristics. Special devices, using computer selection, will mix the components in the required quantity. Real fuel tank flap professionals will be able to recreate the entire paintwork of a car.

Updates and shortcomings

The table clearly shows how many horses the Priora had with the old power plant and how the power and torque changed as the update progressed. Here is a description of how the design features of the new units changed compared to the old ones:

  1. The number of valves has increased, there are 4 of them for each cylinder. It's no secret what a positive impact this factor has on engine performance. The filling of the cylinder with the combustible mixture improves, the chamber is qualitatively emptied of combustion products (exhaust gases), the operation of the unit becomes more stable, power increases while fuel consumption decreases.
  2. The compression ratio is increased by increasing the piston stroke. The new engine 21126 and 21127 now uses gasoline with a higher octane number, but at the same time the efficiency of fuel combustion increases, which has a positive effect on power. It’s impossible not to notice how the working volume of the Priora’s engine has increased thanks to the increased piston stroke.
  3. In modification 21127, compared to 21126, the intake manifold was modified. How this affected the engine performance of the Priora can be seen in the table. Power increased by 8 hp. in addition, performance at low and medium speeds has improved.
  4. The new engines on the Priora have better environmental performance and lower fuel consumption. This was achieved through such improvements as modernizing the crankcase ventilation system and reducing the weight of the piston group. Now crankcase gases are burned more intensively in the cylinders and the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere has decreased.
  5. Over the many years of operation of VAZ vehicles, a definite opinion has developed that the power units of Zhiguli cars do not last 150 thousand km until they are overhauled. Now, due to the use of new, higher quality components, the engine life has increased to at least 200 thousand km.

The remaining shortcomings are not so significant and they are usually associated with some kind of defect that can still be found on domestic cars. This could be increased noise from the operation of hydraulic compensators (often found on VAZ cars), an unexpectedly burnt gasket under the cylinder head, or floating idle speed. Or some unit of the attached equipment fails:

  • a drop in fuel pressure in the system leads to difficulty starting the Priora engine and loss of its power;
  • sensor malfunctions;
  • air leaks in the fuel tract through the pipes;
  • problems with the injector throttle valve.

WHAT DOES METALLIC MEAN?

Metallic paint is a type of auto enamel to which aluminum powder pigment has been added. The metal filling makes the composition reflective. The body begins to shine and sparkle in the sun.

The advantages of the technology include the fact that the surface of the body better reflects heat, so the interior heats up in the sun much less.

In addition, metallic has high anti-corrosion properties, so saffron milk caps appear less frequently.

Additional aluminum particles protect the paint from fading. The car looks “new” for much longer.

Specific example

After a certain period of use, rust spots may appear on the VAZ-2114 in the “Snow Queen” shade (there is one). Often the owner decides to resort to painting himself. If this is your first experience, the process may take two to three weeks if you devote no more than 2-3 hours a day to the process. First, preparatory work is carried out, including degreasing, sanding, priming, and putty.

Registration of repainting

As you know, complete or partial repainting of a car must be officially registered. In the first case, this is quite easy to do, but in the second, it is difficult.

These days, almost every motorist who drives a used car is faced with the desire to upgrade it. The ideal option is to sell the old model and get a new one, but this does not always work out for various reasons. Just in this particular case, you can update the “image” of your car by repainting the body or its individual, tarnished areas.

As mentioned above, often owners simply recognize the factory color of the car and then paint certain areas. Everything is fine, you don’t need to do anything. However, there is one caveat: over time, the paint fades in the sun, and then you have to either paint the entire car a new color (the same), or change the shade with the help of a colorist.

Whatever you say, you have to take the law into account. And new rules, introduced for no apparent reason, only spoil the whole picture. If earlier it was clearly stated what can be done and what cannot be done, today there is a kind of bureaucratic chaos. One thing is certain: it is easier to obtain documents for a completely repainted car than for a partially repainted one.

We can only hope that the kinks in the charter will be corrected soon. For owners who intended to repaint the car, it is better to update the old color using the recommendations for selecting the exact color given above.

Standard method

Typically, a VAZ-2114 in black or another shade is classified according to a special label. It is located on the spare tire, in the glove compartment or trunk. The name of this card is “Form-3347”. The color is marked with a number because it often has an original name that is not related to its actual display.

Manufacturers often recommend that users write the color number on the inside of the fuel filler door. If the vehicle was purchased on the secondary market, the previous owner may have worried about this point. The warranty card also contains information about the color of the VAZ-2114 (photo of the car below). The information is recorded in the upper left corner using a special form (near the VIN).

How to determine the exact color

So, finding out the exact color of your “iron horse” is a priority task that must be solved before starting painting work. To determine the color, you need to use the following recommendations:

See what color is indicated in the car's 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;

How to determine the paint color of VAZ bodies

  • View 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 cannot find color data. Others try to do it themselves using a code and coloring chart.

Features of operation

A truly worthy option for personal travel will be the Lada Priora sedan in Perseus color.

It is worth taking into account the small trunk volume when using the car as a family vehicle. This model is perfect for transporting passengers, a sales representative or as a taxi.

The Priora hatchback Perseus will provide convenient placement of large cargo thanks to the larger size of the trunk.

The color of a car's body is one of the important factors in choosing a model. A rich and unusual shade allows you to stand out from a number of monotonous classic cars. Therefore, AvtoVAZ developers added a new shade of Perseus Priora to the usual colors, which gives the vehicle a solid look. The shade marking is number 429, the color itself is dark blue.

How to determine the color of your car model

Determining exactly what color a car is painted is usually necessary for one reason. If the paint has come off on a certain area of ​​the body, you need to paint over the area, but in such a way that it doesn’t differ.

It’s easy to find out the color of your VAZ model. It will be enough to look at the trunk lid if it is a sedan or find it in the glove compartment or spare wheel well if it is a hatchback. In some cases, the code is indicated under the brake light on the spoiler.

Experienced drivers recommend: if you find a piece of paper on the body, be sure to write down the number and name of the paintwork somewhere, as it is easy to lose the piece of paper or forget its location. After all, it can be erased over time. It is clear that it is much more difficult to find the code on used Vases.

In many cases, the body color is also specified in the warranty card for the car.

If you still cannot find the color code of the VAZ model, it is recommended to contact the dealer who sold the car or the previous owner.

There are a couple more methods suitable for those who purchased a car from some Valera, but he either does not know the code or does not get in touch himself.

Here's what to do:

  • Use the Lada painting plan used at the factory. This is easy to do if you know the exact release date of the model. But this technique has one drawback: the car must be no older than 2005;
  • Contact a professional colorist. It is enough to show a specialist the gas tank flap so that he can accurately determine the color. And that’s not all: the colorist’s services also include the production of exactly the same paint using special equipment, in the volume required by the owner.

VAZ car colors

It is noteworthy that before our man had no problems choosing a color. Car tones were limited to only a few, there was no rich variety like today. In addition, the Soviet man, after standing in line for a long time, was ready to take whatever was offered to him.

Today, when scientific and technological progress has advanced far forward, painting technologies have also improved significantly, and the chemical composition of paint and varnish mixtures has changed. To a greater extent, paintwork now serves the function of protecting the body from rust, and cars have become more attractive in appearance and brighter, but large queues for popular colors remain.

Note. The fact is that the color of a car symbolizes not only aesthetics, but also high cost, reliability and practicality.

Some general information about the color of the car

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

By the color of the “iron horse” one can judge the character of its owner. It is believed that if a car has a noble color, this gives it a more stylish and rich appearance. And from here, its cost increases in direct proportion, since the more original the car, the more expensive it is.

If we mean foreign cars, then black color looks much more preferable to them than others. For the most part, this applies to executive and business class cars. But in the VAZ line, everything is a little different.

The choice of color is, of course, a purely personal decision for everyone. However, it should be understood that traffic safety directly depends on the color of the car. Paradoxical as it may seem, it is color that is for the most part capable of influencing the emotional and subconscious state of the driver, which ultimately affects the road situation as a whole.

So, black, which is the most popular color, so to speak, in the automotive world is a symbol of solidity and self-confidence. All this, of course, is good. Only in foggy weather and in the evenings, when visibility on the road is poor, does a black car pose a danger. In most cases, in inclement weather, black cars blend into their surroundings and are unnoticeable.

White is a color that perfectly conveys the shapes and lines of body design. Favorite color of designers. The owners of such cars, according to observations, are calm and balanced people who perfectly observe traffic rules. In addition, according to statistics, such cars are less likely to be stolen. As for the danger, this color, pleasant in clear weather, can pose a threat in winter, when there are snowdrifts on the roadsides. Again, like black cars, they blend in with their surroundings.

Blue-blue car colors are also not very safe in terms of safety. They interfere with a realistic assessment of the situation and distract drivers of oncoming vehicles. But green, on the contrary, symbolizes harmony and tranquility, but for some reason it is not very popular among buyers. But the owners of these cars are always reasonable and balanced.

Note. In some ways, the green color can blend into the summer landscape if you go out into the field, but there is no heavy traffic, so safety is fine.

Red is called the tone of automotive passions. The owners and owners of such cars are always strong-willed and sociable people, but quick to anger. In terms of safety, a red car is the safest, as it is quite difficult not to notice it, even from afar.

Yellow cars also indicate ease, calmness and sociability. In some way, this color can activate the brain, and this fact easily explains why these cars are remembered for a long time. Why are taxis painted this color? It is also one of the safest.

Silver cars indicate harmony, happiness and confidence. This color is usually preferred by people who want to show their superiority over others and their bright individuality. It is also considered a good color in terms of road safety.
