For example, the bright yellow shade “Lemon” is considered feminine and is able to attract the close attention of young girls to the new product, for whom it is important to look not only modern, but also stylish on the road.

The exclusive “Lime” color is also among the popular shades among young people, which will undoubtedly increase the share of buyers under the age of 30. The bright blue shade “Mystery” should also become very popular among young people, giving the car additional elegance that allows it to stand out on the road.

Lada Vesta - Phantom color

The shade of smoky blue with a metallic sheen has a special twilight beauty. Great for business people. The main color is dark gray, in low light or at dusk it resembles a solid color. However, the chameleon coating plays in the sun. Depending on the angle of the light, the car may appear orange or dark brown. Pros. Dust and dirt are not very noticeable, the chameleon paint looks original. Minuses. This is a unique coating, and choosing such paint is quite difficult during repair work. A small scratch or damage can only be corrected at great expense. Additional payment – 12,000 rub.

Reviews Vadim: “I really like that you can’t see the dirt on the car, at least it’s not noticeable.”

Irina: “An exquisite option, it looks very stylish and expensive, it shimmers beautifully in different tones in the sun.”

Nazar: “I accidentally scratched the car when I was removing the trunk from the roof. I ran into a problem when looking for paint - it’s expensive and difficult to remove the damage.”

The catalog contains car colors of Russian and foreign car manufacturers. Basically, these colors refer to Mobihel and Duxone paints, the car enamels and coatings of which correspond to the popular colors of Lada VAZ and GAZ cars. But despite the fact that the paint codes given in the table correspond to domestic cars, these same colors are also used in the foreign automobile industry, they just have a different coding.

Please note that colors on a computer screen cannot convey all shades of car enamels, especially metallics, which “play” in the light and shimmer. Flower images shown are for reference only. You can roughly select a color, but only catalogs (fans of colors) can give you a real idea of car colors; they can be found in car paint stores or from colorists.

Automotive paints (auto enamels) are divided into two main groups: metallic and non-metallic. They differ in that the first has a pearlescent tint, while the second does not.

Instructions for repairing chips and scratches: 1. wash the damaged area. 2. Degrease the surface using a degreaser. The chip surface must be dry and clean. 3. If there is rust, remove it with sandpaper. First seal the perimeter of the area to be treated with masking tape. 4. Clean the surface with a napkin. We recommend applying a primer to the chip, this is optional. Allow to dry (20-30 minutes at T=20C). Remove excess primer with sandpaper. 5. Apply several thin layers of paint, with 15-20 minutes between coats. If the repair area is small, you can use a toothpick to apply paint. 6. Make sure the paint is dry. Apply several layers of varnish, with breaks of 15-20 minutes between layers. 7. If necessary, after 24 hours. when the varnish is dry, remove the excess with wet sandpaper (“zero”).

Pluto

The most popular are the dark gray ones. Although black is still beyond competition. Pluto reserves the right to a premium look, but at the same time allows you not to get lost among friends. Some problem areas on the car body that have lost their presentability can be quickly restored with the help of simple tools, so the use of Pluto is definitely suitable for most novice motorists.

Guarantees of quality painting:

Painting is carried out at the MPK production base. High quality painting is achieved by using modern painting materials, using an Italian painting booth, separate technology for preparing parts, experience of specialists and final quality control.

The price with painting includes the cost of: parts, paint, painting services, all necessary consumables. Painting is carried out with factory paints used at AvtoVAZ. Paints are purchased from specialized companies, but there is still no 100% guarantee that the paint will have the desired thickness, tone, and be from the exact batch of paint that is painted at the factory. Therefore, in some cases, parts may have an acceptable color difference. Please take into account that even cars coming off the production line often have differences in the tones of the attached plastic (bumpers, spoilers, etc.) from the body. Hinged plastic is painted outside the factory and, as a rule, in different batches of paint.

Platinum color reviews

This image creates a very pleasant impression. The car slightly takes off the clothes of sporty aggression and acquires some severity, like a German car.
Evgeniy, Cherepovets

I liked the photo of the Lada Vesta in platinum color. If I buy a Lada Vesta, this body color will be the first thing people will pay attention to. This color should be chosen by people who know their worth and suspect their capabilities in society.
Anton, Krasnodar

I always bought cars with this Platina color. It is neutral and does not irritate neighbors on the road, and the car looks more impressive with it.

↑ Reviews about platinum color

As you can find out from the comments to the Lada post, there have been no negative reviews of the new color yet: the plant’s designers believe that black and silver colors, for example, black pearl and platinum, are universal, suitable for owners of various ages and temperaments.

An exception may be young people who value above all else their exclusivity in everything, including the color of their car. In the video, which can be found on our website, everyone can see with their own eyes the incredible charm of the platinum-colored Lada cross 2021, its magnetism and attractiveness.

Important. A thoughtful combination of shades in the new color made it possible to create a coating that is durable, bright and reliable, and also extremely non-staining: dust and dirt are not as noticeable on it as on others.

As an alternative point of view, opposite to positive assessments, you can find an ambiguous review from the owner of Vesta on the Internet:

“Everything is bad, the car needs to be periodically “finished with a file”, comfort is almost zero, the systems are unstable.”

At the same time, the author notes that no serious problems occurred with the car during its operation, and as the main argument he cites the following: everything would be fine if the Lada was cheaper.

This information excited other motorists, causing a strong reaction. If we put aside emotions, then the machine (and its coating) have practically no real shortcomings, this is confirmed by operating experience and proven developments in the treatment of Vesta’s “diseases”.

Ghostly Shade

Lada Vesta Phantom has a dark gray main color. In low light or twilight conditions, it looks monochromatic. But when the chameleon coating is exposed to a brighter light source, it begins to change from dark brown to orange. This effect is very good to observe when changing the viewing angle. Another useful property of this paint is that dust and dirt are not visible on it.

Numerous photos of phantom-colored bodywork and videos posted on Internet portals will help you decide on the choice of color. Also on websites about cars you can find reviews of the phantom color from real owners of Lada Vesta, who talk in their blogs about the features of this color, car care and other interesting facts.

Available colors

Since manufacturers have taken great care in developing the range, the consumer can have the opportunity to choose from a fairly large assortment.

black, white – were also on previous models;
gray shade “Pluto”;
blue "Blues";
red "Carnelian";
light gray - photo of the platinum-colored body at the beginning of the article;
dark green "Krypton";
gray-blue “Phantom”;
brown "Angkor";
For an additional price, in the luxury package you can get the green shade “Lime”.

Does it look interesting? Undoubtedly. This one goes especially well with the black plastic body kit inherent in the crossover version of the station wagon; it doesn’t get lost like, for example, on black. It is also noteworthy that no other manufacturer offers similar colors for their models, at least in the budget segment. However, if you really like the chameleon color, then you can cover your car with a special film, which can be of absolutely any color, but it’s really not that cheap, and its service life is much shorter than regular paintwork, which, by the way, is quite good on Vesta , and on the Cross version it is also additionally protected in some places by plastic.

Black Pearl

Lada Vesta SW of this version looks several classes higher. Sitting behind the wheel, you feel the increased status, but the large logo on the front spoils the impression a little. The black pearl is quite easily soiled in any season. If you maintain impeccable cleanliness, then compared to more premium brands, Lada Vesta SV will seem like a worthy competitor. There is no need to talk about exclusivity: .

↑ Other colors of Lada Vesta

Bright, memorable shades, new, unusual colors, combined with an updated design and improved technical characteristics, have become a kind of calling card of the Lada Vesta sw cross 2021. Future owners can choose from the following body colors:

black pearl;
silver platinum;
gray brown angkor;
Carthage 247 metallic;
gray-blue blues.

And this is not a complete list of all possible combinations of models and configurations that are available at official dealers. Some shades were used for the first time not only on the Lada, but also in the Renault-Nissan group in general.

Considering the rather complex coating technology, for some of them you will have to pay an additional 12,000 rubles, but it’s worth it. The quality of the car enamel will fully comply with GT instructions and will not be affected by operating conditions or weather conditions. User reviews on specialized forums are more eloquent than any advertising, confirming the commercial success of AvtoVAZ’s new solutions.

One can argue endlessly about which shade will best highlight the characteristics of the car owner’s driving style, his temperament and lifestyle. Ultimately, everyone finds something of their own: perhaps it will be a strict snow-white or fashionable Carthage, as well as an incredibly attractive phantom, rich in fancy shimmers and color transitions.

The main thing is that the paintwork fulfills its main functions - protecting the body from corrosion, and, of course, effectively highlighting Vesta’s exterior, its exclusive design and sporty appearance.

↑ Designers' plans for the future

Domestic manufacturers, having released the Lada Vesta, have made a significant step forward. Not only the sector responsible for the safety and functionality of the car worked, but also the design workshop. High-quality forms and well-chosen color options are definitely a plus for them.

As for the projects planned for implementation in the coming years, there is also some interesting news. Firstly, a slightly adjusted Cross version of Vesta will be released, with improved body protection and increased ground clearance with the size of the wheels themselves. According to the manufacturer, this should improve the car’s off-road capability.

The project of a sports variation of the Lada Vesta also stands apart. In terms of its parameters, it will be close to racing cars. The creation of this model was influenced by feedback from drivers who used the Lada in rallies. The concept car looks very impressive and progressive, but nothing is known about the planned color palette. The color turquoise appears in the photographs, but it is unclear whether it will be on the final list.

Angkor

The brown color of the Lada Vesta SW is becoming increasingly popular. The demand is partly determined by the realities of off-road conditions, which can be found even in the middle of the city. Clay is clearly visible in all shades except Angkor. Lovers of country trips are impressed by the opportunity to stay clean for as long as possible. When you arrive at the garage, there is no need to immediately grab the hose and start washing.

You can discuss the technical characteristics of the LADA Vesta SW Cross endlessly. A lot here depends on the configuration and the subjective opinion of each motorist. A completely different topic will be when talking about the color palette of the body. AvtoVAZ has succeeded in this regard, so the car looks decent in appearance compared to its more successful competitors. The colors of the Lada Vesta Cross have fancy names, but more about everything later in the article.

Painting features

The Lada Vesta body is painted using modern technologies. First, a layer of high-quality primer is applied to the galvanized metal using cataphoresis. This metal treatment process prevents corrosion from affecting it.

On a note!
The paint coating applied to the treated body reliably protects it from small chips and scratches and guarantees resistance to corrosion for 6 years. This coating is not afraid of any weather conditions, including the impact of road reagents.

↑ Hidden meaning in the name of the Carthage color on the Lada Vesta

The manufacturer gives names to paints for Vesta, which contain a conceptual principle.

Carthage is a state of the pre-Christian era that stood on the path of Roman conquests in Africa. The Romans made repeated attempts to destroy it and, in the end, achieved their goal, after which they conquered all the lands in the African Mediterranean. This was a breakthrough in their imperial ambitions.

Vesta station wagon, crossover, is also an attempt by AvtoVAZ to break into the category of manufacturers of middle-class cars that are competitive with foreign cars in all respects: technical equipment, design, color. In this way, the manufacturer makes it clear that he will not stop achieving his goal. This breakthrough will not mean stagnation on what has been achieved; the model will continue to improve.

The abbreviation SW (Sport Wagon) stands for sports van. Designed for Russian conditions, it “breaks” the established stereotype regarding this type of car: it is no longer a sedan, but also not a hatchback, and not a station wagon in its pure form. The new body tone creates a charismatic image: strict, smart, aimed at movement.

Attention! Compared to the sedan of the first releases, the Lada Vesta SW, SW CROSS in the Carthage version has positive changes in the internal design, build quality, and additional functions, but the main idea of the model is preserved.

An example is the arrangement of the trunk. With the same volume, it has become much more convenient and functional. It has organizers, hooks, nets, and a two-level floor, which allows you to distribute things with comfort. The trunk lid is now opened with a button on the fifth door.

Rear-seat passengers now have more space thanks to an increase in roof height by 25 mm. There is now a convenient armrest with a hinged lid where you can put coffee. On the back of the front armrest there is a USB port for charging phones and laptops, and heated rear seats in three ranges.

The doors began to open and close more smoothly. A set of antennas on the roof are hidden in a shark fin. The seal on the hood has been improved, the gas tank cap is now blocked from the ignition switch.

The car is equipped with a 1.8 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission made in France. The car listens well to the steering wheel and is stable when cornering. The crossover has a ground clearance of 18 cm, which allows it to overcome off-road conditions. The elastic front suspension prevents the car from swaying.
