Paint chips.

Post by thelad »

I have a what i would call "post box red" polo, around the drivers door and boot lid there are some deep chips down to the metal.
any suggestions on what to use to correct them? i was thinking some kind of paint pen?
also where can i find the color code for the paint in case i need some mixing up? thanks

The paint code is located on the white sticker under the boot floor next to the spare wheel and also in the first pages of your owners manual. The owners manual has a key so you can figure out which code is the paint code which is usually four alphanumeric characters eg 'LC9Z'

You can buy touch up paints from the dealers or on ebay which are a pretty good match so long as the paint code matches :)

Hope this helps.
