I recently gave the Fabia a pretty good clean (still got to clay bar it! Probably the best Xmas present of 2019...) And I've found a number of tiny paint chips. I've been looking at paint kits but want to make sure I get one that's actually accurate. Bought a White one from Halfords a few years ago for the old C1 and it was more like an off-white and didn't match at all...

Any recommendations on accurate brands?

As a side question, am I safe to give it a treat with the detailing kit (clay bar and a resin polish) or should I do the paintwork first? Bit worried about giving it a thorough go-over in case the paint peels or something.

OE Skoda paint kit will be your best bet, Chip-ex are hit and miss in regards to colour match.

Clay, polish etc first, then touch up the chips.

Cheers,

Thanks! Must've been my searches earlier but I was only finding the Czech site. Now I've found the UK store I'll have a look 👍 just gotta find out which white I need...

Paint code should be found on the white build sticker under the boot carpet, it will look something like LB9A.

Cheers
