Title: Candy white touch up kit
Post by: Obbzi on 04 April 2013, 00:12

Does anyone know if VW do a paint touch up kit and the paint code for candy white please?

Got a nasty stone chip the other day  :cry:

I've had official VW ones before in the past but never had to use them, Sod's law only had the car 4 days  :cry:

Yeah they do them mate, it's a good job because the paint is pretty pants tbh! Best bet is to go to a dealership parts dept with your reg and they'll give you the right kit for your colour.

Years ago, I used to be a car salesman.

I'd sold this white Rover 214 that had a scratch on the rear door. I touched that in with tipex, then went over it with some glass polish. It looked great...until the customer washed it the next week.  :whistle:
