I've just bought a Felicia (September 1998) on eBay. It's Nautic Blue - at least I think it is; I've done so much web browsing about Felicias these past few days that I can't remember why I think it is Nautic Blue! Anyway, it seems to be missing the data plate that I believe is meant to be located near the spare wheel and so I'm uncertain of the paint code for this colour.

In the course of my researches I've seen 3 different codes that seemed to relate to Nautic Blue: J4J4, 4625 and F5G. I asked at Halfords about getting some touch up paint mixed and they said J4J4 isn't on their system, the other 2 codes are, but they both have different names and neither is Nautic Blue! To further confuse the issue there is a Vehicle Data sticker in the service book which gives various codes for paint, optional equipment, etc, and that states L462 although I am not certain if that refers to the paint or something else. I guess this may be the same sticker that is also meant to be in the boot?

I'd be grateful if someone could sort out my confusion!

well done that man, got yourself a skud. cant help with your paint code. but happy moterskudding.

The code is J4 J4

I have a nautic blue felicia. You are better off getting paint ordered from the main dealer(around 5-6 quid a tin or touch up) as the match is bang on.

Don't suppose you have a spare tailgate in that colour mine is knackered!!

If you are trying to deal with a small bit of localised rust on edges get a tin of blue smooterite. It is a good match.

Thanks very much, I will ask at the dealer's. Would you care to have look at the eBay photo of my car and tell me if it looks like Nautic Blue; sorry, not the greatest colour match on this photo:

Just had a look on the Skoda Accesories web-site.

I can't find any mention of Nautic Blue. but the 4625 code appears to refer to "Marine Blue".

Here is the link....

You can also search for all paint colours for a particular model...

Interestingly, searching for J4J4 brings up the same results as 4625, although its not mentioned in the listings????

that site is sooooooooo cool. guna be in the red very soon.

It is Nautic Blue.

J4 J4 is Definately Nautic Blue and from pics it looks the same as my 30 quid scud.

Very helpful, thanks. Drat, it looks as if I overpaid by 50% for my car if yours was
