Well... The touch-up job is getting there. It's my first time doing it too, I left some sanding marks on the outside of the paint chip which you can see on the photo. I used 800 Grit Sandpaper. Do you think a polishing compound would fix these sanding marks? To me the marks look like they have slightly sanded the clearcoat and it gave the paint a bit of a dull shine. Thanks.

My Octy is a late 2006 build and according to the 2006 brochure 'brillaint silver' didn't exist and was not an option. There was only 'diamond silver metallic' It was only until the 2007 brochure came out, 'brillaint silver' then superseded 'diamond silver'

Thanks for clearing this up for me Yeah you're right, pretty stupid to be fair!

9102 but they supplied me with 9156

Ok, so I went to my local Skoda Dealership at the parts department and got my touchup paint however, their is one small problem. I specifically asked the guy to give me 'diamond silver metallic' but instead he gave me 'Brilliant Silver' either though I didn't ask for it. He put my paint number as well as my VIN into the computer and somehow there was an error in the system when it tried to find it and it couldn't find the paint which is odd. I think Skoda don't produce or make touchup pens for 'diamond silver metallic' anymore so I guess I'm going to have to unfortunately stick with this

Sorry, got a question. I'm new to this all. Will the car rust quickly if I leave it until Monday? Stupid question I know I did put some polish over it to at least give it some protection 😅

I'm going to see if I can pickup some sandpaper as well as a touchup pen and just go over the paint to protect it 🤞🏻 I'm tempted to get Skoda Brilliant silver touchup paint but it's the wrong shade of silver

Yeahhhh, that's what I've used 🤦🏻‍♂️ Sorry for asking but, what do you mean by 'dental floss'?

Hi Everyone 👋🏻 I decided to replace my rear badge today on my Skoda Octavia MK2 because the old one is faded however I could not remove the badge as it is stuck on with strong glue. I have accidentally damaged my paint in the process and I'm worried that rust might appear if I don't touch it up with paint. I contacted my local dealer if they have a touchup pen for my paint colour which is called 'diamond silver metallic' and awaiting a response. Has anybody had the same issue as I've experienced and how did you do it without scratching paint? I'm really worried about this. Image attached is what it looks like now. Thanks

Thank you so much buddy! Really appreciate your help 👍🏻 stay safe 😊

Hey all I know this was asked on another post but I cannot for the life of me find the brochure for the Skoda Octavia MK2 pre-facelift on the internet. Can anybody be willing to send me a PDF file format of the brochure? Thanks

My Octavia Mk2 didn't even come with a battery cover when I brought it used lol Did you try to pull it hard off or gently? 😅
