I'm looking for an alternative to a metallic that doesn't need lacquered.

Cheers

Looks like mine :) yes it`s a VW colour, LH5V is the code, also called "slate blue" or "scheiffer grey" Would have been laquered originally (that`s the L bit on the code) mine`s been painted and not laquered and looks OK.
