Spray Paint - 2001 Octavia Elegance

Hi All,

Does anyone know if you can buy an aersol can with colour to match your current car? Some ar*s decided to pull out in front of me and swiped my wing mirror couldnt get turned fast enough to turn and stop him and feast on his freshly ripped out heart... right rant over, i can buy a primed electric mirror from ebay, was just wondering is it possible to buy a spray can with the same colour?


Cheers

Piants4u or Skoda dealers. I've used paints4u a couple of times and found them good. Alternatively, if you have a paint factors that supplies the trade near you, they can mix aerosols for you. If your paint is metallic, you'll need lacquer too.

Give them the paint code from the boot sticker.

Oh, BTW, you can usually buy just the plastic housing for the mirror.

I've used Halfords mix 'n' match service in the past (on a metallic silver car) and the match was spot on

Has he taken your paint off or just left paint on your car.

I've rubbed paint from other cars off with scratch X or something stronger like Safe Cut/T-Cut and that saves you repainting.
