Paint colour

Melvin · 01-02-2007, 20:01

Hi
I am now the proud owner of a 1996 Falicia and would like to find the paint code so i can do a little touching up. Have looked under the bonnet around the suspension strut as advised by the dealer, there is the remnants of a sticker but its white through ageing. The dealer printed out the codes for red Felicia's and if I knew what the colours looked like I would probably be able to identify it. The colour is a metallic maroon. Is there anywhere i can see a list of codes attached to colour samples?

My family had 3 skodas back in the late 70's soon after they started coming into the UK through Bridlington / Yorkshire.

Any help much appreciated.

sound like your dealer isent exactly going out of his way to help you hear. just take the car in and say "i want some touch-up paint for that car" if the dealer realy puts his mind to it, he can find out.

can you tell i have gained a surtan amount of contempt for dealers!!!!

If the dealer inputted your chassis number into the Skoda warranty system it will give them a full run down of the car. Engine number, paint codes, etc etc.

As others have said, the dealer should be able to sort you out.
Not sure how many reds there are, but Pinky, my old Felicia (now owned by ag.morley) was a non-metallic called "Romantic Red" so that's one you can rule eliminate from your list...

d smith · 02-02-2007, 15:23

I think you will find that it is.CHILLI RED METALLIC.

pinkskud · 02-02-2007, 18:55

Thanks for the suggestions, now its MOTed and road taxed i will pop around to the local dealer. Its not Romantic Red, nice colour but not mine so one to cross off the list.

Melvin · 02-02-2007, 19:37

looking at the dealers colour list we are down to rally red F3E, Violet Metallic F8E, and 2 types of hot chilli red pearl effect F3S & C3L. If anyone has a car of these colours would they post a picture please.

there was one very rare called 'SOLITARE' mettalic red/maroon (i had one, a b'itch to get the paint.

try in the rear under the carpet for a colour code sticker.

fordfan · 03-02-2007, 21:05

I think that was a Favorit colour, we had an aerosol of that colour in stock for years before we managed to sell it.

its was a felicia colour '95. '96? very rare

mine was an N reg LXi got it on special order only. and THE only car in that colour the Skoda garage ever saw.

PS it was described as Romantic red, of Chilli until seen the colour was more purple and darker than those.

I’d wondered why you called your car Pinky!

That's actually a really nice colour

Not sure I could drive around in a car that colour though - what would the ladeees think!

I’m not sure what to think, mind you, Scoobys have pink badges sometimes and haven’t pink elephants been seen on rally cars before

Is that one of the first ‘High Torque’ models? Quite like the stripe though and I’m not a big pink fan. Oh the elephants I was referring to were on the Delta Intergrales and I think they were really more of a red in colour.

ScoobyChris · 03-02-2007, 22:09

Nah it was a custom paint job by one of the ladeees in the local Scooby club. She was gonna get it resprayed fully in pink, but I think funds were tight so she had to settle on getting the stripes done.

Chris (It's not mine, honest

Lady Elanore · 03-02-2007, 22:13

I’m still wondering about it being a High Torque model. Subaru flattened out the torque curve and upped the power to 211bhp from 208 IIRC and the car was alleged to have had suspensions setting similar to the then Prodrive mod. But it’s a long time ago since I had my Scoobys so Dementia may have set in.
