Touchup paint

Post by ywfan »

Does anyone know where to get some touchup paint for my metallic grey 2011 polo 1.2?
Can I just get from VW dealers?
Thanks

I would get from VW mate. At least you know its half decent stuff and the best colour match. Its not much more expensive either :D

Wouldnt go to halfords as they charge above and beyond the price required. Dont know if vw do touch up quantites, im sure they only sell larger quantities such as 5 litre tins and then that need thinning for application. Id try your local body shop suppliers, they'll be able to sort you out wth smaller quantites at a cheaper price than vw.

Hi mate,

Not sure how much they would be from a main dealer, however i've purchased a few touch-up paint sets from eBay, for some reason there is a main dealer that are selling genuine vw gear on eBay for cheaper than it would be in the dealer itself. Can't grumble at £7.73, just send them a message upon purchasing highlighting the colour you want, if you don't know then supply them with your reg no and they will find out for you! Highly reccomended and probably a cheaper alternative to a main dealer!

I don't think main dealers are that expensive give them a ring. I always get one thrown in free when I buy the car as part of the deal :D

Oh dear, can't be a bad scratch if you are using a touch up?

Hi, just got some touch up paint from audi for my wifes A1 , daytona grey, and comes with a small bottle of paint and a small bottle of lacquer/clear coat - sorry don`t know the cost as came with the car.So your local dealer should be able to help you out.Good luck.
