How do I find the exact colour of my car? I have a white Spaceback but I know theres two whites, Candy and Pearl?

 

I dont know the difference, any help appriciated!

Is it bought from new?

 

If so you would have paid more for the pearl option c. £500 whereas candy is only about £200 (SEAT prices)

 

the paint code might be on the sticker on the drivers door sill, or the options sticker near the spare wheel well (or inside the handbook)

Mine's on the inside cover of the service book. There's a grid of letters and numbers and it tells you which one corresponds to your paint code.

It was delivery milage so I didn't choose anything.

Damn nothing in service book, just the print outs.

 

Only VIN and weights on drivers door sill too :-(

 

Mrs has had a wee bump and need to try fix it :-(

Found it! It was on the invoice from buying the car - Candy White!

 

Cheers guys!

not metallic - good news

Just for interest.   I've bought touch up paint from Amazon from three different suppliers in Candy white.    In the little bottles it is the nastiest grey colour you'll ever see.  That's why I didn't stop at one--bought two more trying to get something that looked remotely like my car.!?!    BUT when you put it on it blends in perfectly.  Seriously.  I had trouble believing it.  I think Candy white is a bit of wishful thinking.  It should be "scruffy underpants white"

I was going to buy the tin from superskoda http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/Paint-it-yourself/Motip-CANDY-WHITE-1026

 

I need to buy a rear reflector anyway so thought I'd just get the paint from there too. I'll let you know if it;s any good
