Driver door lock cap (painted) -- where to find?

Featured Replies

Does anybody know where I can find a painted driver side (UK RHD) door lock cap in the right colour to match my car? I can only find 'primed' ones so far.

Skoda Octavia 2014 2.0 TDI vRS in what I think is race blue.

They are not supplied painted to your car's colour as you have discovered, but if you are really lucky you might find someone selling painted ones on ebay - I found a rear boot handle for my wife's 2002 VW Polo when it was only a few years old, I can't explain why anyone was selling pre-painted handles, other than maybe a batch from the factory were crap - as like on her car, and VW supplied a "shed" load of pre-painted handles to address that, and I was lucky enough to grab one!

Spray + Lacquer pack from VW Group is the cheapest way to solve this - I did that once when retro fitting parking sensors.

Thanks, I'll have to look into that if I can't find a ready painted one. So far I've only found the correct item for the LHD driver door.
