I need to do the above due to rust. But after grinding sanding primming etc, where is best to get the red paint from? Think it is 8t 8t.

any automotive paint place really if you supply them the paint codes for mixing. Make sure they have some accreditation to a professional trade body though. Or Skoda themselves. Always bear in mind that the colour will almost certainly not be an exact match though. Don't know if Richmond truck and car rental still have a bodyshop in Stourbridge but they used to be pretty good.

Ah good thanks.will check them out. Its not much paint, but wanted to avoid halfords and i haven't had to buy paint before, apart from from them. Strange as that may seem

Skoda for the best match.

yeah but i just think they will triple the price?!

I will give them a ring also

Skoda prices are relatively cheap considering you are getting OEM quality parts/paints.
