I had a failed actuator on my 2013 Mk3 Octavia. Bought part from TPS, but found one bolt to remove unit was only available by undoing wheel arch lining. Gave up and let my garage do it.

I used this VW Reflex Silver, and it is dull. Try from Halfords 441493 PS Audi M# Aluminium. Seems almost matching if also clear coated as well.

My fuel flap refused to open, and I managed to force it open with a plastic trim tool. The actuator had failed, so I purchased a new on from TPs at £30. Looked easy to fit, as several videos on YouTube. Unfortunately, Skoda has made it difficult to remove the fuel door, as it is necessary now to remove the o/s rear wheel, the wheel liner to locate the nuts/screw, which hold it on. Then you can pull away the whole assembly from the tank nozzle and replace the actuator. I took it to my local mechanical garage , and they fixed it for £40. If you force the fuel flap open, you may break of a piece of the plastic slot the actuator arm fin rotates into when locked. I did, but it still locks. It may be possible to slightly pull open the flap, push a slim tool into the slot and rotate the horizontal fin vertical.
