Hi all

Can any help me with my paint problem?

I have had a paint chip bottle mixed from an ebay seller and now a 1/2 ltr from Halford both from my cars code found on the boot lable (also matches the service book sticker 9570 but its very blue and not green like the car its on a 2000 GLxi and its nothing like anypart of the car .

Help at this rate I will have enough to respray it

Hi Postmanpat

Thanks for the reply mate yep its really blue rather than green. Did skoda have a habbit of putting the odd wrong paint codes etc on the lables

cheers whitehg

Maybe post a photo of your car on here and ask if anyone has a skoda the same colour?, then ask them what the code label says on their car?

or maybe this can help?

I've just checked my old dears service book as she has a nature green fabia, sure enough it is 9570.

I think I'd be going back to the people that supplied you the paint & tell them to give you the right colour ....pic of car always a good plan so they can see it's not blue!

Any particular reason why you haven't bought a touch up stick from a skoda dealer out of curiosity? :S

Hi Chris Focus

I asked myself the same question this morning i have purchased paint from the same supplier on ebay before and its been spot on so when that wasnt correct i thought i would give halfords a try as my friend has had good result. I will be calling in at fowlers in Notts tomorrow if I get half a chance as well as returning the half litre to Halfords.

I am sure the Halfords guy called it Sea green 9570 but but for both to get it wrong was a little to coincidental

I think your on te right track with nature green

Cheers whitehg
