Hello to all of you! How are you doing?

 

I come to the forum already totally desperate after "fighting" with my local Skoda dealers and even with Skoda itself in the Czech Republic by email.

 

I'm trying to find a "valid" colour code so that I can get it prepared in a specialised car/rim paint shop but so far I've had no luck.

 

The wheel part number is 6V0071497A8CS and, from what I've been told, the colour code is 8CS. But everywhere I've asked they don't list that code as a Skoda colour.
And Skoda doesn't sell touch-up sets in that colour either.

 

So I am turning to you in the hope that there is a solution (and that it won't mean buying a new wheel 🥲).

 

 

Thank you very much and best regards to all of you!

Can the Body Shop / Paint Supplier not  'Scan' / Check the paint colour and match / mix it.

 

I do not recognise the Code 8CS.  Is that what is on the back side of the wheel beside the Spec of the wheel?

 

@CarlstonCan maybe help you with info. 

 

Is this what you are wanting, The Skoda Green , R5 Fabia rally car colour?   There are members that had Fabia Mk2,s painted or Powder Coded in this colour.

Or is it just the colour for these black wheels?

Hi, those are the rims I have mounted. At Skoda they keep telling me that the last 3 digits of the reference are the color (8CS in my case). 

And yes, it is just that green. The rims are the same ones that put the R5 Limited Edition that came out a few years ago.

I only had those tires mounted on the car for 1 year. I mounted these green Savio rims as soon as I could.

Pls let me know for VIN and I will check in the catalogue.

They were not standard or an option for his car were they.   The colour used on the R5 Tribute though.

Exactly! The rims are from a 2018 limited edition and my car is a regular 2020 MonteCarlo, so I don't think we can do much with the VIN...

My memory is finally failing.

There was a thread with the Official Colours and paint codes and i can not remember where or find it with a search.

 

I am sure any body shop worth that name can match the colour.

I was a spray painter..

I thought I had answered but I guess I just thought about doing it hahaha.

 

I'm going to see if I can order a small pot of the "ral 6018" paint, see if it's the right one and I can finally have peace of mind.

 

 

Thank you very much!
