Sorry first question what does it mean by tags  I seem to be a bit clueless there  🤔  '"= ok now to my question where on the vehicle is my my colour or referred to as a paint code which I would need to get a touch up paint when I went into my local Skoda dealership the guy at the parts department told me they still don't do that that touch up paint for my silver yes I repeat silver paintwork I have to wait 8the vehicle was built in 2019 and sold to me in 2020 August 1st but surely there must be silver out there  and surely the alloys on my Skoda drive 1.5 TSi hatchback are silver and the bodywork looks the same to me I will also need a touch up paint for the alloys surely the allies would be standard silver is there a colour code for that thank you guys just a bit baffled at the moment we're to look for it

Tags are just a quick thing to use when searching for relevant words.

OK mate thank you for that that new to this forum business

There is a code and it is on the rear of the wheel.

Thanks mate I'll have a look so that cold will tell me me what colour silver is for the wheels only but when you look at the bodywork the wheels and the body word look exact but thanks for that

What Silver is your car then?  

I doubt it is the same as the wheels, so did the guy not tell you your cars paint code that he says they do not do a touch up for.

(I was a car sprayer.)

Yes I was surprised when he said that to me me his exact words were you'll have to come back in a couple of months time when they start doing the paint touch up pens you surprised me when he said that surely when you manufacture a vehicle you would provide the paint at your local Skoda garage ok I understand that the wheels are slightly different silver going to have to ring up a couple of more Skoda garages in the area they will probably help me probably   no what  they're doing I was having trouble finding the colour code I'm not sure if it's the one under the bonnet or on the door pillar but thank you for your reply

Sorry but without looking using google i dont know what silvers the latest Octavias come in, do you have no idea what name of Silver your car is?

 

Someone in this section must know which ones were available.

 

Edit, is it Brilliant Silver?

OK that is a star thanks for that I'll have to get the brochure out and see what they call the colour and then find the colour code somewhere but if all else fails I can always get it mixed up by a specialist paint company which I used to do for my old Vauxhalls thanks mate much appreciated

Hi Diljit, there should be a paint code reference on the ID sticker in the trunk wheel well. Inputting that code online should then tell you what VAG call it.

Did you not have the cars paint code when the Parts Person at the dealership told you there was no touch-up yet?

Hi Diljit, I had a quick look online and the only silver I see for a 2020 Octavia is 'Brilliant Silver' - a metallic finish. The paint code for this is LA7W. But check on the sticker.

Thanks mate that's a basis to go on parts guy my local is not that good he can't even tell me the bloody oil that goes in the car he didn't no  between 20-w and 30w
